| PolysacDB ID | 2510 |
| Carbohydrate Name | Lipopolysaccharide (Drugpedia) |
| Carbohydrate Class | Lipopolysaccharide |
| Microbe | Vibrio cholerae 01 serogroup (NCBI Taxonomy) (Drugpedia) |
| Basic Structure | It is a linear unbranched homopolymer of 1,6-linked-D-galactopyranosyl residues. |
| BCSDB Structure | 6642 |
| 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 | Killed Vaccine consisting of V. cholerae O1 Inaba (ATCC 14033) and Ogawa (ATCC 14035) cells |
| Carrier Name | Nil |
| Conjugation Method | Nil |
| Antibodies | Mab A19 |
| Antibody type and class | IgM |
| Assay System | Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), immunofluorescence, Immunoelectron microscopy and the slide agglutination test |
| Cross-reactivity | This Mab reacted with both Inaba and Ogawa serovars (A antigen) and was specific to O1 serotype. It however reacted weakly with five V. cholerae non-O1 serovars and Serratia marcescens |
| 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 | The A19 anti-A antigen MAb agglutinated each O1 serovar and Serratia marcescens, albeit weakly |
