Carbohydrate Name | Glucan (Drugpedia) |
Carbohydrate Class | Capsular polysaccharide |
Microbe Name | Mycobacterium tuberculosis (NCBI Taxonomy) (Drugpedia) |
Basic Structure | Glucans are a heterogeneous group of glucose polymers, consisting of a backbone of β(1-->3)-linked β-D-glucopyranosyl units with β(1-->6)-linked side chains of varying distribution and length |
BCSDB Structure | N/A |
Proposed Function | Activates leukocytes, stimulating their phagocytic, cytotoxic, and antimicrobial activities, including the production of reactive oxygen and nitrogen intermediates |
Antigenic Nature | Glycoconjugates |
Carrier Name | Pseudomonas aeruginosa exoprotein A (rEPA) |
Conjugate Method | The polysaccharide was activated with CDAP. A 60-ml volume of CDAP (100 mg/ml of acetonitrile) was added to a solution of polysaccharide (2 ml, 10 mg of polysaccharide per ml of PFS) at room temperature. The pH was maintained at 5.8 to 6.0 for 30 s, and 60 ml of 0.2 M TEA was added to a pH of 7.0. The reaction was carried out for 2 min, and an equal volume of 0.8 M adipic acid dihydrazide [ADH] in 0.5 M NaHCO3 was added. This reaction was carried out for 2 h, and the pH was maintained at 8.0 to 8.5 with 0.1 N NaOH. The reaction mixture was dialyzed against PFS and passed through a column (3 by 46 cm) of P-10 in PFW. The void volume fractions were pooled, freeze-dried. ADH-derivatized polysaccharide (10 mg) was dissolved in PFS (2 ml). An equal weight of protein was added, and the pH was maintained at 5.1 to 5.5 with 0.1 M HCl. The reaction mixture was put on ice, EDAC was added to a final concentration of 0.05 M, and the pH was maintained at 5.1 to 5.5 for 4 h in 0.1 M HCl. The reaction mixtures were dialyzed against 0.2 M NaCl for 2 days with three changes of outer fluid and were passed through a column (1.5 by 90 cm) of Sepharose CL-6B in 0.2 M NaCl. The void volume fractions were stored at 3 to 88°C |

Conjugate Method | GXM was derivatized by the following two methods. (i) In method 1, ADH [adipic acid dihydrazide] was introduced into GXM by the activation of carboxyl groups with EDAC. GXM (5 mg/ml of 0.2 M NaCl) was derivatized with 0.5 M ADH and 0.1 M EDAC at pH 4.85 for 3.5 h at room temperature, using a pH Stat. After extensive dialysis against 0.2 M NaCl, the reaction mixture was passed through a 2B-CL Sepharose column (1.5 by 30 cm) equilibrated in 0.2 M NaCl. The fractions containing GXM were pooled and concentrated to the original volume. (ii) In method 2, ADH was introduced into GXM by the activation of hydroxyl groups with CNBr. GXM (5 mg/ml of 0.2 M NaCl) was activated with an equal weight of CNBr at pH 10.5 for 6 min at 4°C, using a pH Stat. An equal volume of 0.5 M NaHCO3 (pH 8.5) containing 0.5 M ADH was added. The reaction mixture was tumbled at 3 to 8°C for 18 to 20 h, dialyzed against 0.2 M NaCl, and passed through a 2B-CL Sepharose column (1.5 by 30 cm). The fractions containing GXM were pooled and concentrated to the original volume. The reaction mixture, containing equal concentrations (3.0 to 7.5 mg/ml) of GXM-AH (derivatized by either method) and TT or rEPA in 0.2 M NaCl, was brought to pH 5.6 with 0.05 N HCl, and 0.05 to 0.1 M EDAC was added; the pH was maintained at 5.6 in a pH Stat for 1 to 3 h at 4°C. The reaction mixture was dialyzed against 0.2 M NaCl at 3 to 8°C and passed through a Sepharose 2B-CL column (1.5 by 30 cm) equilibrated in 0.2 M NaCl. The void volume fractions containing the GXM and the protein were pooled and stored in 0.01% thimerosal at 3 to 8°C |

GXM (5 mg/ml of 0.2 M NaCl) was activated with an equal weight of CNBr at pH 10.5 for 6 min at 4°C, using a pH Stat. An equal volume of 0.5 M NaHCO3 (pH 8.5) containing 0.5 M ADH was added. The reaction mixture was tumbled at 3 to 8°C for 18 to 20 h, dialyzed against 0.2 M NaCl, and passed through a 2B-CL Sepharose column (1.5 by 30 cm). The fractions containing GXM were pooled and concentrated to the original volume. The reaction mixture, containing equal concentrations (3.0 to 7.5 mg/ml) of GXM-AH (derivatized by either method) and TT or rEPA in 0.2 M NaCl, was brought to pH 5.6 with 0.05 N HCl, and 0.05 to 0.1 M EDAC was added; the pH was maintained at 5.6 in a pH Stat for 1 to 3 h at 4°C. The reaction mixture was dialyzed against 0.2 M NaCl at 3 to 8°C and passed through a Sepharose 2B-CL column (1.5 by 30 cm) equilibrated in 0.2 M NaCl. The void volume fractions containing the GXM and the protein were pooled and stored in 0.01% thimerosal at 3 to 8°C |

The reaction mixture was tumbled at 3 to 8°C for 18 to 20 h, dialyzed against 0.2 M NaCl, and passed through a 2B-CL Sepharose column (1.5 by 30 cm). The fractions containing GXM were pooled and concentrated to the original volume. The reaction mixture, containing equal concentrations (3.0 to 7.5 mg/ml) of GXM-AH (derivatized by either method) and TT or rEPA in 0.2 M NaCl, was brought to pH 5.6 with 0.05 N HCl, and 0.05 to 0.1 M EDAC was added; the pH was maintained at 5.6 in a pH Stat for 1 to 3 h at 4°C. The reaction mixture was dialyzed against 0.2 M NaCl at 3 to 8°C and passed through a Sepharose 2B-CL column (1.5 by 30 cm) equilibrated in 0.2 M NaCl. The void volume fractions containing the GXM and the protein were pooled and stored in 0.01% thimerosal at 3 to 8°C |
