| PolysacDB ID | 2266 |
| Carbohydrate Name | Y O-polysaccharide (Drugpedia) |
| Carbohydrate Class | Lipopolysaccharide |
| Microbe | Shigella flexneri (NCBI Taxonomy) (Drugpedia) |
| Basic Structure | The O-LPS consists of a tetrasaccharide repeating unit α-L-Rhap-(1-->2)-α-L-Rhap(1-->3)- . This tetrasaccharide is polymerized and joined by β-1,2 linkages between N-acetyl-D-glucosamine and L-rhamnosyl to form the O-polysaccharide chain

| BCSDB Structure | N/A |
| Proposed functions | N/A |
| Antigenic Nature used to produce antibodies | Heat-killed S. flexnerf bacteria serotype Y |
| Carrier Name | Nil |
| Conjugation Method | Nil |
| Antibodies | Mab MASF Y-2 |
| Antibody type and class | N/A |
| Assay System | ELISA, FARR assay |
| Cross-reactivity | MASF Y-2 bound exclusively to LPS of serotype Y. In the glycoconjugate ELISA. these antibodies bound only to the octa- and decasaccharide-BSA antigens |
| Proposed epitopes | This Mab bound to intrachain determinants |
| IEDB Epitope | 76764 |
| Proposed Utility | This Mab would help in the delineation of the antigenic stucture of Y O polysaccharide |
