Carbohydrate Name

Lipopolysaccharide

Carbohydrate Class

Lipopolysaccharide

Source Microbe

Helicobacter pylori

Basic Structure

The structure of the O-polysaccharide part of the LPS is the same as the Lewis X (Lex) and Lewis Y (Ley) determinants of the human cell surface glycoconjugates

Proposed functions

The O-polysaccharide regions of these LPS were found to be a major antigenic determinant

Antigenic Nature used to produce antibodies

naturally infected patiens

Carrier Name

nil

Conjugation Method

nil
