PolysacDB ID | 1204 |
Carbohydrate Name | Smooth Lipopolysaccharide (Drugpedia) |
Carbohydrate Class | Lipopolysaccharide |
Microbe | Brucella melitensis strain B115 (NCBI Taxonomy) (Drugpedia) |
Basic Structure | The S-LPS of smooth-type Brucella spp. contains two distinct antigenic determinants designated A and M |
BCSDB Structure | N/A |
Proposed functions | LPS is most unusual constituents of outer membrane. It plays important role in host defence avoidance. LPS contributes to the negative charge of the bacterial surface. Lipid A is often toxic and act as endotoxin |
Antigenic Nature used to produce antibodies | Whole cells |
Carrier Name | Nil |
Conjugation Method | Nil |
Antibodies | Mab 05D01 |
Antibody type and class | IgG1 |
Assay System | ELISA and immunoblotting |
Cross-reactivity | This antibody was specific to a common epitope on A and M polysaccharides. This Mab cross-reacted with O-PS of B. abortus 99 but did not bind to R-LPS of B. melitensis B11; also did not cross-react with Y. enterocolitica0:9 LPS |
Proposed epitopes | This Mab was proposed to be directed to antigenic determinants present along the length of the polymeric O-chain |
IEDB Epitope | N/A |
Proposed Utility | N/A |
Curator ID | AA + AS |
Date of Curation | 07-03-2010 |
