| PolysacDB ID | 1807 |
| Carbohydrate Name | Capsular polysaccharide (Drugpedia) |
| Carbohydrate Class | Capsular polysaccharide |
| Microbe | Neisseria meningitidis Serogroup B (NCBI Taxonomy) (Drugpedia) |
| Basic Structure | It consists of a homopolymer of α(2-->8)-linked sialic acid residues
|
| BCSDB Structure | 7487
|
| Proposed functions | It is an important virulence factor |
| Antigenic Nature used to produce antibodies | Whole cells |
| Carrier Name | Nil |
| Conjugation Method | Nil |
| Antibodies | Mab 30H12 |
| Antibody type and class | IgG2a |
| Assay System | ELISA and bactericidal assays |
| Cross-reactivity | This Mab was specifc to Neisseria meningitidis group B and did not cross-react with group A and group C N. meningitidis capsular polysaccharides. This Mab did not recognized N-propionylated capsular polysaccharide of group B meningitidis |
| Proposed epitopes | α[2-->8] linked N-acetyl neuraminic acid residues seemed to be the part of the epitope |
| IEDB Epitope | N/A |
| Proposed Utility | This Mab had potent bactericidal activity |
