Carbohydrate Name

O-polysaccharide

Carbohydrate Class

O-polysaccharide [LPS]

Source Microbe

Campylobacter fetus 553 and 554

Basic Structure

The LPS molecule of C. fetus is composed of three distinct structural domains: a hydrophobic lipid A portion which forms the outer leaflet of the outer membrane and which contains the endotoxic activity, a low-molecular-weight oligosaccharide core complex, and a variable-length O-specific polysaccharide chain with repeating oligosaccharide units (O-antigen)

Proposed functions

The LPS O-antigens are the basis of the C. fetus heat-stable serotyping Scheme

Antigenic Nature used to produce antibodies

a mixture (1:1) of C. fetus 553 and 554 formalin-killed cells

Carrier Name
