PolysacDB ID2560
Carbohydrate NameExopolysaccharide xanthan   (Drugpedia)
Carbohydrate ClassCapsular polysaccharide
Microbe NameXanthomonas campestris pv. campestris 646   (NCBI Taxonomy)   (Drugpedia)
Basic StructureIt consists of a β1-->4 glucose polymer, i.e. a cellulose backbone, with β1-->3 substituted trisaccharide side-chains of (mannose-β1-->4 glucuronic acid-α-1-->2-mannose-β-1-->3)- on alternate glucose residues. The side-chain is variably acylated. The inner mannose may have an O-6 acetyl group and the terminal mannose a 4,6- bound pyruvate ketal
BCSDB StructureN/A
Proposed FunctionThe exopolysaccharide xanthan from Xanthomonas campestris is an interesting carbohydrate polymer, with striking rheological properties which make it useful as a food additive (gelling agent) and also as a potential vehicle in enhanced oil recovery
Antigenic NatureXanthan
Carrier NameNil
Conjugate MethodNil
AntibodiesMab A6
Antibody Type ClassIgM
Assay SystemELISA
Cross ReactivityThis Mab was specific to Xanthan and did not cross-react with Cellulose
Proposed EpitopeThe specificity was mainly against the side-chain of xanthan. This Mab was assumed to be directed against the nonsubstituted trisaccharide with the inner mannose-glucuronic acid being immunodominant
IEDB EpitopeN/A
Proposed UtilityThis Mab could be useful for structural studies, for detection purposes in commercial and agricultural settings, and for serological typing purposes

Antigenic NatureXanthan
Carrier NameNil
Conjugate MethodNil
AntibodiesMab B3
Antibody Type ClassIgM
Assay SystemELISA
Cross ReactivityThis Mab was specific to Xanthan and did not cross-react with Cellulose
Proposed EpitopeThe specificity was mainly against the side-chain of xanthan. This Mab appeared to require the fully acylated side-chain with the pyruvylated terminal mannose as the immunodominant part
IEDB EpitopeN/A
Proposed UtilityThis Mab could be useful for structural studies, for detection purposes in commercial and agricultural settings, and for serological typing purposes
