Carbohydrate Name

Capsular polysaccharide 500 antigen

Carbohydrate Class

Capsular polysaccharide

Source Microbe

Cryptosporidium parvum

Basic Structure

CPS-500 is a chloroform-extractable glycolipid

Proposed functions

CPS-500 is a candidate target antigen for active or passive immunization against cryptosporidiosis
