PolysacDB Lipoologosaccharide band B of the LPS 1179
From DrugPedia: A Wikipedia for Drug discovery
Carbohydrate Name
Lipoologosaccharide band B of the LPS
Carbohydrate Class
Lipopolysaccharide
Source Microbe
Bordetella pertusis 134 LOS B variant strain
Basic Structure
B. pertusis LPS is resolved electrophoretically into two bands, a slowly migrating band designated LOS A and a fast-migrating band designated LOS B. These two species differ in molecular weight as three N-acetyl amino sugars found on LOS A are not present on LOS B
Proposed functions
The LOS of B. pertussis exhibits biological activities similar to those of endotoxins from other gram-negative bacteria, including pyrogenicity, toxicity, induction of the Shwartzman reaction, induction of tumor necrosis factor production, and adjuvant properties
Antigenic Nature used to produce antibodies
N-Lauroyl sarcosine membrane extract (SME) from B. pertussis 9340
Carrier Name
nil
