Carbohydrate Name

Lipopolysaccharide

Carbohydrate Class

Lipopolysaccharide

Source Microbe

Serogroup C1 (0:6,7) Salmonella

Basic Structure

LPS is a complex macromolecule composed of the biologically active lipid A moiety, covalently attached core oligosaccharide, and distally linked polysaccharide O-side chain. The O-antigen part consists of the following residues : -2)-β-D-Manp-(1-->2)-α-D-Manp [branched to α-D-Glcp-(1-->3)] -(1-->2)-α-D-Manp-(1-->2)-α-D-Manp-(1-->3)-β-D-GlcpNAc-(1-


Proposed functions

LPS plays an important virulence role based on its antiphagocytic and endotoxic properties

Antigenic Nature used to produce antibodies

Whole cells

Carrier Name

nil

Conjugation Method

nil

Antibodies

Mab Cl-1

Antibody type and class

IgG3

Assay System

ELISA, slide agglutination test

Cross-reactivity

This Mab reacted strongly with all strains of serogroup C1 Salmonella that have either O:6(1),7, O:6(2),7, or O:6(1,2),7 antigens and also reacted with the phage-14 lysogenized C1 strains that bear the phage-modified O antigen (O:6,7----O:6,7,14)

Proposed epitopes

N/A

Proposed Utility

This Mab can be used for the diagnosis of serogroup C1 salmonella
