| PolysacDB ID | 2167 |
| Carbohydrate Name | Lipopolysaccharide (Drugpedia) |
| Carbohydrate Class | Lipopolysaccharide |
| Microbe | Salmonella typhimurium (NCBI Taxonomy) (Drugpedia) |
| Basic Structure | LPS is a complex macromolecule composed of the biologically active lipid A moiety, covalently attached core oligosaccharide, and distally linked polysaccharide O-side chain. The O-antigen part consists of the following residues : -2)-α-D-Manp [branched to α-Abep-(1-->3)] -(1-->4)-α-L-Rhap-(1-->3)-α-D-Galp-(1-
|
| BCSDB Structure | 124341 |
| Proposed functions | LPS plays an important virulence role based on its antiphagocytic and endotoxic properties |
| Antigenic Nature used to produce antibodies | Heated, alcohol-acetone-extracted Sabnonella newport CDC 50 antigen |
| Carrier Name | Nil |
| Conjugation Method | Nil |
| Antibodies | Mab 32-1-E3 |
| Antibody type and class | IgG3 |
| Assay System | Enzyme immunosorbent assay, immunoblotting |
| Cross-reactivity | This Mab cross-reacts with Sablonella groups C2 (0:6,8) and C3 (0:-,8) but not with those from any other serogroup tested |
| Proposed epitopes | N/A |
| IEDB Epitope | N/A |
| Proposed Utility | The MAb agglutinated with all strains of Salmonella serogroups C2 and C3 tested but not with other bacteria. The MAb is useful as a replacement for absorbed, polyclonal, single-factor 0:8 antiserum to discriminate Salmonella serogroups C2 and C3 from serogroup Cl |
