Basic Structure

The purified antigen was a homopolysaccharide composed of D-glycero-D-galacto-heptose (Hep.) residues. The structure of the repeating unit in the polysaccharide was: -[-6)-[α Hep.furanosyl-(1-->4)]-β-Hep.pyranosyl- (1-->6)-[α-Hep.furanosyl-(1-->2), α-Hep.furanosyl-(1-->4)]-β- Hep.pyranosyl-(1-)4-->6)-β-Hep.pyranosyl-(1-->. No heptose residues were acetylated
