| PolysacDB ID | 2318 |
| Carbohydrate Name | Core oligosaccharide (Drugpedia) |
| Carbohydrate Class | Lipopolysaccharide |
| Microbe | Shigella flexneri serotype 1b (NCBI Taxonomy) (Drugpedia) |
| Basic Structure | The core is a single sequence of heptoses and hexoses
|
| BCSDB Structure | N/A |
| Proposed functions | LPS plays an important virulence role based on its antiphagocytic and endotoxic properties |
| Antigenic Nature used to produce antibodies | Heat killed cells |
| Carrier Name | Nil |
| Conjugation Method | Nil |
| Antibodies | Mab MASF R3 core-1 |
| Antibody type and class | IgG2a |
| Assay System | Immunoblotting, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), hemagglutination, and coagglutination |
| Cross-reactivity | The core-specific antibodies were shown to be specific for the Escherichia coli R3 core, which all S. flexneri LPSs were found to have, except for S. flexneri serotype 6 LPS |
| Proposed epitopes | N/A |
| IEDB Epitope | N/A |
| Proposed Utility | This Mab can be used for detection and identification of shigella flexneri species |
