PolysacDB ID1578
Carbohydrate NameN-propionylated group B meningococcal polysaccharide   (Drugpedia)
Carbohydrate ClassCapsular polysaccharide
Microbe NameNeisseria meningitidis Serogroup B   (NCBI Taxonomy)   (Drugpedia)
Basic StructureIt is a homopolymer of α(2-->8) sialic acid
BCSDB StructureN/A
Proposed FunctionThis capsular polysaccharide is an important virulence determinant. Serum antibodies to the group B polysaccharide confers protection against disease by activating complement-mediated bacteriolysis and/or opsonization. It leads to immunologic tolerance induced by prenatal exposure to host polysialyated glycoproteins
Antigenic NatureGlycoconjugates
Carrier NameTetanus toxoid
Conjugate MethodNil
AntibodiesPolysera
Antibody Type ClassN/A
Assay SystemRadioactive binding inhibition assay, ELISA, Bactericidal assay
Cross ReactivityThis antisera cross-reacted with capsular polysaccharide of E. coli K1
Proposed EpitopeN/A
IEDB EpitopeN/A
Proposed UtilityThis antisera was bactericidal for Group B meningococci
