Carbohydrate Name

Y O-polysaccharide

Carbohydrate Class

O-polysaccharide [LPS]

Source Microbe

Shigella flexneri

Basic Structure

The O-LPS consists of a tetrasaccharide repeating unit α-L-Rhap-(1-->2)-α-L-Rhap(1-->3)- . This tetrasaccharide is polymerized and joined by β-1,2 linkages between N-acetyl-D-glucosamine and L-rhamnosyl to form the O-polysaccharide chain

Proposed functions

N/A

Antigenic Nature used to produce antibodies

heat-killed S. flexnerf bacteria serotype Y

Carrier Name

nil

Conjugation Method

nil

Antibodies

Mab MASF Y-2

Antibody type and class

N/A

Assay System

ELISA, FARR assay

Cross-reactivity

MASF Y-2 bound exclusively to LPS of serotype Y. In the glycoconjugate ELISA. these antibodies bound only to the octa- and decasaccharide-BSA antigens

Proposed epitopes

This Mab bound to intrachain determinants

Proposed Utility

This Mab would help in the delineation of the antigenic stucture of Y O polysaccharide
