Carbohydrate Name
Lipopolysaccharide
Carbohydrate Class
Lipopolysaccharide
Source Microbe
Eikenella corrodens FDC 1073
Basic Structure
The LPS of E. corrodens was found to have little 2-keto-3-deoxyocutulosonic acid (KDO) and heptose and fairly strong classical endotoxic activities
Proposed functions
The lipopolysaccharide (LPS) of the species may play a primary role in the pathogenesis
Antigenic Nature used to produce antibodies
LPS preparations from E. corrodens FDC
Carrier Name
nil
Conjugation Method
nil
Antibodies
Mab ECF-1
Antibody type and class
IgM
Assay System
ELISA, immunodiffusion, immunoblotting
Cross-reactivity
This antibody showed cross-reactivity with LPS from F. nucleatum ATCC 25586
Proposed epitopes
This Mab recognized a core region epitope
Proposed Utility
This Mab would help in the revealing of antigenic natureof the surface of Eikenella corrodens
