[edit] Carbohydrate Name

Lipopolysaccharide

[edit] Carbohydrate Class

Lipopolysaccharide

[edit] Source Microbe

Vibrio cholerae serogroup O139

[edit] Basic Structure

N/A

[edit] 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

[edit] Antigenic Nature used to produce antibodies

Whole cell lysates

[edit] Carrier Name

nil

[edit] Conjugation Method

nil

[edit] Antibodies

Mab 5B9-F8

[edit] Antibody type and class

IgM

[edit] Assay System

dot-blot ELISA, immunoblotting, ELISA

[edit] Cross-reactivity

This Mab was specific to Vibrio cholerae serogroup O139 and did not cross-react with 137 strains of other enteric microorganisms

[edit] Proposed epitopes

N/A

[edit] Proposed Utility

This Mab can be used as a detection reagent in the antigen detection assay for diagnosis of cholera caused by V. cholerae O139
