Basic StructureThe O-chain was built up of disaccharide repeating units having the following structure: -->6)-α-D-Glcp-(1-->4)-α-D-GalpNAc6oMe*-(1--> with partially methylated GalNAc residue. The core region consisted of a phosphorylated hexasaccharide, containing one Kdo residue, unsubstituted at O-4, and no heptose residues. The lipid A component consisted of β-GlcN-(1-->6)-α-GlcN1P disaccharide, N-acylated with 13-methyl-C14-3OH (iso-C15-3OH), C16-3OH, and 15-methyl-C16-3OH (iso-C17-3OH) acids. The lipid portion contained O-linked iso-C16 acid.
