Carbohydrate Name
Lipopolysaccharide
Carbohydrate Class
Lipopolysaccharide
Source Microbe
Myxococcus xanthus
Basic Structure
It consists of Lipid A region covalently linked to the core region
Proposed functions
N/A
Antigenic Nature used to produce antibodies
Whole cells
Carrier Name
nil
Conjugation Method
nil
Antibodies
Mab 1733
Antibody type and class
IgG
Assay System
ELISA, immunoblotting
Cross-reactivity
This Mab was specific to M. xanthus and did not bind to LPS of any other gram negative bacteria
Proposed epitopes
O-antigen of the LPS seems to constitute the epitope
Proposed Utility
This MAb may be a useful probe for detecting specific alterations in the LPS structure which may occur during the development of M. xanthus. This Mab has been used to isolate many LPS biosynthesis mutants
