Carbohydrate Name

Lipopolysaccharide

Carbohydrate Class

Lipopolysaccharide

Source Microbe

Eikenella corrodens FDC 1073

Basic Structure

The LPS of E. corrodens was found to have little 2-keto-3-deoxyocutulosonic acid (KDO) and heptose and fairly strong classical endotoxic activities

Proposed functions

The lipopolysaccharide (LPS) of the species may play a primary role in the pathogenesis

Antigenic Nature used to produce antibodies

LPS preparations from E. corrodens FDC

Carrier Name

nil

Conjugation Method

nil

Antibodies

Mab ECF-2

Antibody type and class

IgM

Assay System

ELISA, immunodiffusion, immunoblotting

Cross-reactivity

This antibody showed cross-reactivity with LPS from F. nucleatum ATCC 25586

Proposed epitopes

This Mab recognized a core region epitope

Proposed Utility

This Mab would help in the revealing of antigenic natureof the surface of Eikenella corrodens
