Carbohydrate Name
Lipopolysaccharide
Carbohydrate Class
Lipopolysaccharide
Source Microbe
Serogroup B Salmonella
Basic Structure
LPS is a complex macromolecule composed of the biologically active lipid A moiety, covalently attached core oligosaccharide, and distally linked polysaccharide O-side chain. The O-antigen part consists of the following residues : -2)-α-D-Manp [branched to α-Abep2Ac-(1-->3)] -(1-->4)-α-L-Rhap-(1-->3)-α-D-Galp [branched to α-D-Glcp-(1-->6)]-(1-
Proposed functions
LPS plays an important virulence role based on its antiphagocytic and endotoxic properties
Antigenic Nature used to produce antibodies
