| PolysacDB ID | 1793 |
| Carbohydrate Name | N-propionylated group B meningococcal polysaccharide (Drugpedia) |
| Carbohydrate Class | Capsular polysaccharide |
| Microbe | Neisseria meningitidis (NCBI Taxonomy) (Drugpedia) |
| Basic Structure | It consists of a homopolymer of α(2-->8)-linked sialic acid residues
|
| BCSDB Structure | N/A |
| Proposed functions | It is an important virulence factor |
| Antigenic Nature used to produce antibodies | Glycoconjugates |
| Carrier Name | Tetanus toxoid |
| Conjugation Method | N-propionylated group B meningococcal polysaccharide was combined with freshly purified monomeric tetanus toxoid in a solution of phosphate buffer containing NaBH3CN and incubated at 37°C for 5 days |
| Antibodies | Mab 6B9 |
| Antibody type and class | IgG2a |
| Assay System | ELISA, bactericidal assays |
| Cross-reactivity | N/A |
| Proposed epitopes | The epitope was located only on extended helical segments of the polysaccharide and also comprised short internal fragments |
| IEDB Epitope | N/A |
| Proposed Utility | This Mab would help in the elucidation of the capsular polysaccharide structure |
