Contents

Carbohydrate Name

Lipopolysaccharide

Carbohydrate Class

Lipopolysaccharide

Source Microbe

Yersinia enterocolitica 0:9

Basic Structure

The O-antigen part consists of the following residues : -2)-α-D-Rhap4NFo-(1-


Proposed functions

N/A

Antigenic Nature used to produce antibodies

Killed whole cells

Carrier Name

nil

Conjugation Method

nil

Antibodies

Ys.T9-2

Antibody type and class

IgG3

Assay System

Whole cell agglutination, immunodiffusion, immunoblotting and ELISA

Cross-reactivity

This Mab cross-reacted with LPS and 0-chains of Y. enterocolitica and B. abortus and exhibited high ELISA titers with homologous and heterologous antigens, in addition to agglutinating activity for both bacteria

Proposed epitopes

this Mab was proposed to be directed to antigenic determinants present along the length of the polymeric O-chain

Proposed Utility

This Mab can be used to study the cell wall polysaccharide antigens of other B. abortus strains and are being evaluated for specific serological identification of B. abortus.
