| PolysacDB ID | 2539 |
| Carbohydrate Name | Lipopolysaccharide (Drugpedia) |
| Carbohydrate Class | Lipopolysaccharide |
| Microbe | Vibrio cholerae 47-4041 serotype Ogawa (NCBI Taxonomy) (Drugpedia) |
| Basic Structure | It is a linear unbranched homopolymer of 1,6-linked-D-galactopyranosyl residues. |
| BCSDB Structure | N/A |
| 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 cells |
| Carrier Name | Nil |
| Conjugation Method | Nil |
| Antibodies | Mab OF7 |
| Antibody type and class | IgM |
| Assay System | Slide or microdilution agglutination methods, along with enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays and immunoblotting analysis |
| Cross-reactivity | This Mab reacted only with Ogawa-type V. cholerae |
| Proposed epitopes | N/A |
| IEDB Epitope | N/A |
| Proposed Utility | This Mab agglutinated both live and heat killed Ogawa cells |
