| PolysacDB ID | 1188 |
| Carbohydrate Name | Lipopolysaccharide (Drugpedia) |
| Carbohydrate Class | Lipopolysaccharide |
| Microbe | Yersinia enterocolitica 0:9 (NCBI Taxonomy) (Drugpedia) |
| Basic Structure | The O-antigen part consists of the following residues : -2)-α-D-Rhap4NFo-(1-
|
| BCSDB Structure | N/A |
| Proposed functions | N/A |
| Antigenic Nature used to produce antibodies | Killed whole cells |
| Carrier Name | Nil |
| Conjugation Method | Nil |
| Antibodies | Ys.T9-4 |
| Antibody type and class | IgG3 |
| Assay System | Whole cell agglutination, immunodiffusion, immunoblotting and ELISA |
| Cross-reactivity | This Mab cross-reacted with LPS and 0-chains of Y. enterocolitica and B. abortus and exhibited high ELISA titers with homologous and heterologous antigens, in addition to agglutinating activity for both bacteria |
| Proposed epitopes | This Mab was proposed to be directed to antigenic determinants present along the length of the polymeric O-chain |
| IEDB Epitope | N/A |
| Proposed Utility | This Mab can be used to study the cell wall polysaccharide antigens of other B. abortus strains and are being evaluated for specific serological identification of B. abortus. |
