| PolysacDB ID | 2299 |
| Carbohydrate Name | Core oligosaccharide (Drugpedia) |
| Carbohydrate Class | Lipopolysaccharide |
| Microbe | Campylobacter fetus (NCBI Taxonomy) (Drugpedia) |
| Basic Structure | The LPS molecule of C. fetus is composed of three distinct structural domains: a hydrophobic lipid A portion which forms the outer leaflet of the outer membrane and which contains the endotoxic activity, a low-molecular-weight oligosaccharide core complex, and a variable-length O-specific polysaccharide chain with repeating oligosaccharide units (O-antigen)
|
| BCSDB Structure | N/A |
| Proposed functions | The LPS O-antigens are the basis of the C. fetus heat-stable serotyping Scheme |
| Antigenic Nature used to produce antibodies | Whole cells |
| Carrier Name | Nil |
| Conjugation Method | Nil |
| Antibodies | Mab M1357 |
| Antibody type and class | N/A |
| Assay System | ELISA and immunoblotting |
| Cross-reactivity | This Mab was highly specific tp C. fetus strains and reacted with serotype A and B strains |
| Proposed epitopes | N/A |
| IEDB Epitope | N/A |
| Proposed Utility | Due to its high specificity, this Mab is potentially useful as immunodiagnostic reagent for detection, identification and characterization of C. fetus |
