Carbohydrate Name
Smooth Lipopolysaccharide
Carbohydrate Class
Lipopolysaccharide
Source Microbe
Bordetella parapertusis
Basic Structure
The O-chain of these bacteria was reported as a homopolymer of 1,4-linked 2,3-diacetamido-2,3- dideoxy-α-galacturonic acid. This polymer contains several amidated uronic acids, the number of which varies between strains
Proposed functions
N/A
Antigenic Nature used to produce antibodies
B. parapertusis whole cells
Carrier Name
nil
Conjugation Method
nil
Antibodies
Mab PP8
Antibody type and class
IgG3
Assay System
ELISA and ELISA Inhibition assay
Cross-reactivity
This Mab did not react with the B. pertussis LPS but cross-reacted with B. bronchiseptica LPS
Proposed epitopes
The epitope was found to reside on O-chains in addition to sugar units in the core
Proposed Utility
This Mab was used for structurural elucidation of the epitope
