Lipopolysaccharide
Carbohydrate Class
Lipopolysaccharide
Source Microbe
Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae
Basic Structure
O chains of LPS of serotypes 4 and 7 were structurally similar, being composed of repeating tetrasaccharide units with identical trisaccharide residues forming a common backbone
Proposed functions
LPS is an important virulence factor. It molecule plays an important role in adherence of the bacterium to porcine respiratory tract cells and mucus

Elisa inhibition assay
Cross-reactivity
N/A
Proposed epitopes
O-antigenic polysaccharide moeity inside the LPS. The epitope was proposed to include O-acetyl group of C6 position of glucose in the middle of repeating units
Proposed Utility
N/A
