Basic StructureO-polysaccharides of the LPS consists of tetra- and tri-α-D-rhamnose repeats in the backbone [-3)D-Rha(α1->3)D-Rha(α1-->2)D-Rha(α1->2)D-Rha(α1] and [3)D-Rha(α1-->3)D-Rha(α1-->2)D-Rha(α1-]

AntibodiesMab Ps1a'
Antibody type and classIgG3
Assay SystemAgglutination, Ouchterlony immunodiffusion, ELISA, SDS-PAGE, and Western immunoblotting
Cross-reactivity"Mab Ps1a' cross-reacted with all strains from subgroups 1b, 1c, and 1x but not with strains from 1d."
Proposed epitopesThe epitope of Mab1a' is related to the D-Rha(alpha1-3)D-Rha(alpha1-2)D-Rha site of the O-polysaccharide backbone consisting of tetra-D-rhamnose repeats. The residue (alpha1-3)DRha( alpha1-2) is immunodominant for epitope of Mab 1a'
IEDB EpitopeN/A
Proposed UtilityThis Mab was useful for elucidation of the LPs structure
