PolysacDB ID | 1197 |
Carbohydrate Name | Lipopolysaccharide (Drugpedia) |
Carbohydrate Class | Lipopolysaccharide |
Microbe | Brucella abortus 1119-3 (NCBI Taxonomy) (Drugpedia) |
Basic Structure | N/A
|
BCSDB Structure | N/A |
Proposed functions | N/A |
Antigenic Nature used to produce antibodies | Killed whole cells |
Carrier Name | Nil |
Conjugation Method | Nil |
Antibodies | B.ab.-6 |
Antibody type and class | IgM |
Assay System | Whole cell agglutination, immunodiffusion, immunoblotting and ELISA |
Cross-reactivity | This Mab cross-reacted with LPS and 0-chains of Y. enterocolitica and B. abortus and exhibited high ELISA titers with homologous and heterologous antigens, in addition to agglutinating activity for both bacteria |
Proposed epitopes | This Mab was proposed to be directed to antigenic determinants present along the length of the polymeric O-chain |
IEDB Epitope | N/A |
Proposed Utility | This Mab can be used to study the cell wall polysaccharide antigens of other Y. enterocolitica strains and are being evaluated for specific serological identification of B. abortus. |
