| PolysacDB ID | 2556 |
| Carbohydrate Name | Lipopolysaccharide (Drugpedia) |
| Carbohydrate Class | Lipopolysaccharide |
| Microbe | Vibrio cholerae serogroup O139 (NCBI Taxonomy) (Drugpedia) |
| Basic Structure | N/A
|
| 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 cell lysates |
| Carrier Name | Nil |
| Conjugation Method | Nil |
| Antibodies | Mab 15F5-H5 |
| Antibody type and class | IgG2b |
| Assay System | Dot-blot ELISA, immunoblotting, ELISA |
| Cross-reactivity | This Mab was specific to Vibrio cholerae serogroup O139 and did not cross-react with 137 strains of other enteric microorganisms |
| Proposed epitopes | N/A |
| IEDB Epitope | N/A |
| Proposed Utility | This Mab can be used as a detection reagent in the antigen detection assay for diagnosis of cholera caused by V. cholerae O139 |
