Revision as of 00:00, 15 January 2001
Carbohydrate Name
Lipopolysaccharide
Carbohydrate Class
Lipopolysaccharide
Source Microbe
Vibrio cholerae 47-4041 serotype Ogawa
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
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
Antigenic Nature used to produce antibodies
Killed cells
Carrier Name
nil
Conjugation Method
nil
Antibodies
Mab OF8
Antibody type and class
IgM
Assay System
slide or microdilution agglutination methods, along with enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays and immunoblotting analysis
Cross-reactivity
This Mab reacted only with Ogawa-type V. cholerae
Proposed epitopes
N/A
Proposed Utility
This Mab agglutinated both live and heat killed Ogawa cells
