Carbohydrate Name

Lipopolysaccharide

Carbohydrate Class

Lipopolysaccharide

Source Microbe

Salmonella minnesota R 595 [Re]

Basic Structure

LPS is a complex macromolecule composed of the biologically active lipid A moiety, covalently attached core oligosaccharide, and distally linked polysaccharide O-side chain. The core oligosaccharide part consists of the following residues : α-Kdop-(2-8)-α-Kdop-(2-->4)-Kdo

Proposed functions

LPS plays an important virulence role based on its antiphagocytic and endotoxic properties

Antigenic Nature used to produce antibodies

Heat killed bacteria

Carrier Name

nil

Conjugation Method

nil

Antibodies

Mab MASM1

Antibody type and class

IgG2b

Assay System

Enzyme immunoassay, ELISA

Cross-reactivity

This Mab cross-reacted with Salmoneela typhimurium SL1102 Re chemotype LPS

Proposed epitopes

3-deoxy-D-mannooctulosonic acid [KDO] residues at the terminal non-reducing ends seemed to be the part of the epitope. The particular epitope was proposed to be α-Kdo[2-->4] Kdo

Proposed Utility

This Mab would help elucidate the Kdo LPS domain structure
