PolysacDB ID2410
Carbohydrate NameType 1b polysaccharide   (Drugpedia)
Carbohydrate ClassCapsular polysaccharide
Microbe NameStreptococcus Group B   (NCBI Taxonomy)   (Drugpedia)
Basic StructureN/A
BCSDB StructureN/A
Proposed FunctionN/A
Antigenic NatureA mixture composed of equal parts of the vaccine suspensions of strains H36B (type Tb), 18RS21 (type II), and 1073 (nontypeable)
Carrier NameNil
Conjugate MethodNil
AntibodiesMab SMB19
Antibody Type ClassIgM
Assay SystemELISA, indirect immunofluorescence
Cross ReactivityThis Mab reacted specifically with the sialylated form of the type 1b polysaccharide. This Mab cross-reacts with some oligosaccharides in human milk and certain fetal antigens
Proposed EpitopeSialyllacto-N-tetraose residues seemed to be the immunodominant epitope
IEDB EpitopeN/A
Proposed UtilityThis Mab will help in the development of appropriate vaccines against GBS that would include the possibility of inducing major cross-reactions with human glycoconjugates
Curator IDAA + AS
Date of Curation02-05-2011

Basic StructureN/A
BCSDB StructureN/A
Proposed FunctionN/A
Antigenic NatureH36B vaccine that had been treated with 2 N acetic acid at 80°C for 10 min to largely desialylate the type lb polysaccharide.
