PolysacDB ID	1250
Carbohydrate Name	Lipopolysaccharide (Drugpedia)
Carbohydrate Class	Lipopolysaccharide
Microbe	Brucella abortus 2308 (NCBI Taxonomy) (Drugpedia)
Basic Structure	Brucella LPS-PS complexes consist of the Brucella O-chains, native hapten, and polysaccharide B
BCSDB Structure	N/A
Proposed functions	N/A
Antigenic Nature used to produce antibodies	Whole Brucella. Abortus 2308 cells
Carrier Name	Nil
Conjugation Method	Nil
Antibodies	Mab A
