Carbohydrate Name

Lipopolysaccharide

Carbohydrate Class

Lipopolysaccharide

Source Microbe

Salmonella enteritidis

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)-α-D-Manp [branched to α-Tyvp-(1-->3)] -(1-->4)-α-L-Rhap-(1-->3)-α-D-Galp-(1-

Proposed functions

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

Antigenic Nature used to produce antibodies

Heat killed Whole cells

Carrier Name

nil

Conjugation Method

nil

Antibodies

Antibody type and class

IgA

Assay System

ELISA and immunoblotting

Cross-reactivity

This Mab recognized O:9 antigen of subserogroup OD1 LPS as well as LPS from S. enteritidis

Proposed epitopes

This Mab is directed to O:9 antigen of the LPS

Proposed Utility

This Mab agglutinated all Salmonella OD1 strains and all S. enteritidis clinical isolates
