| PolysacDB ID | 1067 |
| Carbohydrate Name | Enterobacterial common antigen (Drugpedia) |
| Carbohydrate Class | Glycoprotein |
| Microbe | Escherichia coli C600 (NCBI Taxonomy) (Drugpedia) |
| Basic Structure | It is a glycophospholipid built up by an amino sugar heteropolymer linked to an L-glycerophosphatidyl residue. |
| BCSDB Structure | N/A |
| Proposed functions | N/A |
| Antigenic Nature used to produce antibodies | Whole formalinized E. coli C600 cells |
| Carrier Name | Nil |
| Conjugation Method | Nil |
| Antibodies | Mab 865 |
| Antibody type and class | IgM |
| Assay System | ELISA and immunoblotting |
| Cross-reactivity | This antibody cross-reacted with purified ECA from S.montevideo and to E. coli Rl and R4 LPS, cross-reacted well with the K5 capsular polysaccharide |
| Proposed epitopes | Epitope was proposed to contain 4-linked α-N-acetylglucosamine |
| IEDB Epitope | N/A |
| Proposed Utility | This Mab may be used for the detection of ECA and K5 core structures but also for analysis of the molecular forms resolved on polyacrylamide gels (banding patterns) |
