[edit] Carbohydrate Name

Lipopolysaccharide

[edit] Carbohydrate Class

Lipopolysaccharide

[edit] Source Microbe

Vibrio cholerae 47-4041 serotype Ogawa

[edit] Basic Structure

The O-antigen part consists of (1-->2)-α-linked 4-amino-4,6-dideoxy-D-mannose (perosamine) whose amino group is acylated with 3-deoxy-L-glycero-tetronic acid. The terminal sugar in the Inaba O-antigen has a hydroxyl at the 2' position

[edit] Proposed functions

V. cholerae lipopolysaccharide (LPS), a critical component of the outer membrane that is required for virulence, is a known target for immune responses following infection or immunization. Antibodies specific for V. cholerae LPS are correlated with protection against cholera

[edit] Antigenic Nature used to produce antibodies

Killed cells

[edit] Carrier Name

nil

[edit] Conjugation Method

nil

[edit] Antibodies

Mab OF8

[edit] Antibody type and class

IgM

[edit] Assay System

slide or microdilution agglutination methods, along with enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays and immunoblotting analysis

[edit] Cross-reactivity

This Mab reacted only with Ogawa-type V. cholerae

[edit] Proposed epitopes

N/A

[edit] Proposed Utility

This Mab agglutinated both live and heat killed Ogawa cells
