PolysacDB ID | 1190 |
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.T9-6 |
Antibody type and class | IgG3 |
Assay System | Whole cell agglutination, immunodiffusion, immunoblotting and ELISA |
Cross-reactivity | This Mab was specific to Y. enterocolitica and did not cross-react with Brucella abortus LPS |
Proposed epitopes | The epitope was proposed to be partially directed to the core that gave rise to its specificity to Y. enterocolitica. The study also indicates that the portion of the O-antigen recognized is most probably an oligosaccharide portion which encompasses elements of both the O-chain and the core |
IEDB Epitope | N/A |
Proposed Utility | This Mab can be used to study the cell wall polysaccharide antigens of other Y. enterocolitica strains and are being evaluated for specific serological identification of B. abortus. |
