Carbohydrate Name

O-polysaccharide

Carbohydrate Class

O-polysaccharide [LPS]

Source Microbe

Brucella abortus S19

Basic Structure

O-polysaccharide consists of an unbranched linear homopolymer of 10 to 100 α-1,2-linked 4-formamido-4,6-dideoxy-D-mannose (N formylperosamine) residues. The O-polysaccharide is covalently linked to a core oligosaccharide

Proposed functions

Assay System

Enzyme Immunoassay,immunoblotting

Cross-reactivity

This antibody cross-reacted with Y. enterocolitica 0:9 LPS. Did not cross-react with core oligosaccharide

Proposed epitopes

This Mab recognized the commom [C] epitope of Brucella abortus LPS

Proposed Utility

This Mab may help in the elucidation of epitopic distribution of Brucella abortus LPS
