Carbohydrate Name

Lipopolysaccharide

Carbohydrate Class

Lipopolysaccharide

Source Microbe

Klebsiella pneumoniae O1:K2

Basic Structure

N/A

Proposed functions

CPS have been shown to be important virulence factors and potent Ag for the induction of immunoprotection

Antigenic Nature used to produce antibodies

LPS-associated proteins plus LPS

Carrier Name

nil

Conjugation Method

nil

Antibodies

Mab 12B6

Antibody type and class

IgG3

Assay System

ELISA

Cross-reactivity

This Mab cross-reacted with K. pneumoniae R:K18, a rough strain. This Mab did not cross-react with LPS from Klebsiella strains of the 02, 03, and 04 serotypes nor LPS from E. coli 0111:B4

Proposed epitopes

This Mab recognized the LPS core

Proposed Utility

This Mab showed invivo protection in mice against LPS induced homologous shock
