Carbohydrate Name
Lipopolysaccharide
Carbohydrate Class
Lipopolysaccharide
Source Microbe
Brucella abortus 1119-3
Basic Structure
N/A
Proposed functions
N/A
Antigenic Nature used to produce antibodies
Killed whole cells
Carrier Name
nil
Conjugation Method
nil
Antibodies
B.ab.-9
Antibody type and class
IgM
Assay System
Whole cell agglutination, immunodiffusion, immunoblotting and ELISA
Cross-reactivity
This Mab agglutinated Yersinia and Brucella abortus cells and had high ELISA titers, but which failed to precipitate the polysaccharide antigens
Proposed epitopes
The epitope was proposed to be Terminal nonreducing portions of the O-chain
Proposed Utility
This Mab can be used to study the cell wall polysaccharide antigens of other Y. enterocolitica strains and are being evaluated for specific serological identification of B. abortus.
