PolysacDB ID2537
Carbohydrate NameLipopolysaccharide   (Drugpedia)
Carbohydrate ClassLipopolysaccharide
MicrobeVibrio cholerae 47-4041 serotype Ogawa   (NCBI Taxonomy)   (Drugpedia)
Basic StructureIt is a linear unbranched homopolymer of 1,6-linked-D-galactopyranosyl residues.
BCSDB StructureN/A
Proposed functionsV. 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 antibodiesKilled cells
Carrier NameNil
Conjugation MethodNil
AntibodiesMab OF5
Antibody type and classIgG2b
Assay SystemSlide or microdilution agglutination methods, along with enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays and immunoblotting analysis
Cross-reactivityThis Mab reacted only with Ogawa-type V. cholerae
Proposed epitopesN/A
IEDB EpitopeN/A
Proposed UtilityThis Mab agglutinated only live Ogawa cells and not heat killed cells
