Basic StructureLPS is a complex macromolecule composed of the biologically active lipid A moiety, covalently attached core oligosaccharide, and distally linked polysaccharide O-side chain. The O-antigen part consists of the following residues : -2)-β-D-Manp-(1-->2)-α-D-Manp [branched to α-D-Glcp-(1-->3)] -(1-->2)-α-D-Manp-(1-->2)-α-D-Manp-(1-->3)-β-D-GlcpNAc-(1-
