[edit] Carbohydrate Name

Lewis-X

[edit] Carbohydrate Class

Miscellaneous

[edit] Source Microbe

Schistosoma mansoni

[edit] Basic Structure

N/A

[edit] Proposed functions

These carbohydrate structures are mainly involved in immune evasion

[edit] Antigenic Nature used to produce antibodies

Glycoconjugates

[edit] Carrier Name

Bovine serum albumin

[edit] Conjugation Method

The spacer linked oligosaccharides were converted to their N-hydroxysuccinimido-ester complexes and conjugated to amino groups on BSA

[edit] Antibodies

Mab 291-4D10-A

[edit] Antibody type and class

IgM

[edit] Assay System

ELISA, indirect immunfluorescence and surface plasmon resonance

[edit] Cross-reactivity

This Mab was highly specific and did not show cross-reactivity to other carbohydratge epitopes

[edit] Proposed epitopes

This Mab was directed to epitopes mainly present on the excretory system, on miracidia, and on the whole cercariae

[edit] Proposed Utility

This Mab may lead to a better understanding of the function of glycans
