Carbohydrate Name

Lipopolysaccharide

Carbohydrate Class

Lipopolysaccharide

Source Microbe

Campylobacter jejuni serotype O:41 strains

Basic Structure

N/A

Proposed functions

N/A

Antigenic Nature used to produce antibodies

Patients infected with Campylobacter jejuni serotype O:41 strains

Carrier Name

nil

Conjugation Method

nil

Antibodies

Mab SM1-8

Antibody type and class

IgM

Assay System

Immunoblotting

Cross-reactivity

This antibody was specifc to O:41 strains and did not cross-react with any of the other Campylobacter jejuni strains. Also cross-reacted with human GM1 ganglioside

Proposed epitopes

This Mab binds the terminal dissacharide Galβ1-->3GalNAc in the presence of laterally attached N-acetylneuraminic acid [Neu5Ac]

Proposed Utility

This Mab will help in the unveiling of the mechanisms of molecular mimicry exhibited by campylobacter LPS with human ganglioside and its functional significance in the disease progression
