| PolysacDB ID | 1824 |
| Carbohydrate Name | Capsular polysaccharide (Drugpedia) |
| Carbohydrate Class | Capsular polysaccharide |
| Microbe | Neisseria meningitidis Serogroup C (NCBI Taxonomy) (Drugpedia) |
| Basic Structure | It consists of a homopolymer of α(2-->9)-linked sialic acid residues. |
| BCSDB Structure | 130704 |
| Proposed functions | It is an important virulence factor |
| Antigenic Nature used to produce antibodies | Glycoconjugates as well as purified capsular polysaccharide |
| Carrier Name | Tetanus toxoid |
| Conjugation Method | The oligosaccharide was activated using NaIO4 at 4°C for 60 min and combined with monomeric tetanus toxoid in sodium phosphate buffer containing NaBH3CN and heated at 37°C for 5 days |
| Antibodies | Mab CP875.2 |
| Antibody type and class | IgG1 |
| Assay System | ELISA |
| Cross-reactivity | This Mab cross-reacted with the non-O-acetylated variant of capsular polysaccharide but did not react with E. coli K92 capsular polysaccharide |
| Proposed epitopes | N/A |
| IEDB Epitope | N/A |
| Proposed Utility | This Mab can be used for studying the capsular polysaccharide immunogenicity |
