PolysacDB ID | 1533 |
Carbohydrate Name | Lipopolysaccharide (Drugpedia) |
Carbohydrate Class | Lipopolysaccharide |
Microbe | Klebsiella pneumoniae strain R20/O1 (NCBI Taxonomy) (Drugpedia) |
Basic Structure | N/A
|
BCSDB Structure | N/A |
Proposed functions | It is an important virulence factor |
Antigenic Nature used to produce antibodies | Heat-killed Klebsiella pneumoniae strain R20/O1 |
Carrier Name | Nil |
Conjugation Method | Nil |
Antibodies | Un-named Mab |
Antibody type and class | N/A |
Assay System | ELISA and immunoblotting |
Cross-reactivity | The antibody was able to bind to LPS of clinical isolates of K. pneumoniae, K. oxytoca, K. terrigena and K. planticola but did not bind to LPS of other Gram-negative genera |
Proposed epitopes | This Mab recognized the LPS core |
IEDB Epitope | N/A |
Proposed Utility | This antibody bound only to those LPS molecules which did not carry an O-antigen and thus this antibody is different from those already published |
