Contents

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
