| PolysacDB ID | 2210 |
| Carbohydrate Name | Lipopolysaccharide (Drugpedia) |
| Carbohydrate Class | Lipopolysaccharide |
| Microbe | Salmonella minnesota Re chemotype 595 (NCBI Taxonomy) (Drugpedia) |
| Basic Structure | LPS is a complex macromolecule composed of the biologically active lipid A moiety, covalently attached core oligosaccharide, and distally linked polysaccharide O-side chain. The core oligosaccharide part consists of the following residues : α-Kdop-(2-8)-α-Kdop-(2-->4)-Kdo
|
| BCSDB Structure | N/A |
| Proposed functions | LPS plays an important virulence role based on its antiphagocytic and endotoxic properties |
| Antigenic Nature used to produce antibodies | Whole cells |
| Carrier Name | Nil |
| Conjugation Method | Nil |
| Antibodies | Mab E1 |
| Antibody type and class | IgG3 |
| Assay System | Direct and inhibition enzyme immunoassays |
| Cross-reactivity | MAb E1 reacted exclusively with those of Re-chemotype |
| Proposed epitopes | It recognized α-Kdo- monosaccharide and disaccharide structures present as non-reducing side chains in various Re-type LPSs and synthetic antigens |
| IEDB Epitope | N/A |
| Proposed Utility | This Mab can be used for identification of Salmonella strains having the Re chemotype |
