| PolysacDB ID | 2550 |
| Carbohydrate Name | Lipopolysaccharide (Drugpedia) |
| Carbohydrate Class | Lipopolysaccharide |
| Microbe | Vibrio cholerae 01 569B (NCBI Taxonomy) (Drugpedia) |
| Basic Structure | It is a linear unbranched homopolymer of 1,6-linked-D-galactopyranosyl residues. |
| BCSDB Structure | N/A |
| Proposed functions | V. cholerae lipopolysaccharide (LPS), a critical component of the outer membrane that is required for virulence, is a known target for immune responses following infection or immunization. Antibodies specific for V. cholerae LPS are correlated with protection against cholera |
| Antigenic Nature used to produce antibodies | Whole cells |
| Carrier Name | Nil |
| Conjugation Method | Nil |
| Antibodies | Mab 110-1-5B |
| Antibody type and class | IgM |
| Assay System | Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs], slide agglutination tests, enzyme immunoassays |
| Cross-reactivity | This Mab reacted with both Ogawa- and Inaba-type V. cholerae |
| Proposed epitopes | The epitope was named as Epitope A. Epitope A was postulated to be either the perosamine residues or the N-tetronic acid (N-3-deoxy-L-glycero-tetronic acid) side chain |
| IEDB Epitope | N/A |
| Proposed Utility | N/A |
