| BCSDB Structure | 5205 |
| Proposed functions | N/A |
| Antigenic Nature used to produce antibodies | Glycoconjugates |
| Carrier Name | Tetanus toxoid |
| Conjugation Method | The oligosaccharide was derivatized with adipic acid dihydrazide and coupled to tetanus toxoid |
| Antibodies | Mab 14A2 |
| Antibody type and class | IgG1 |
| Assay System | Enzyme Inhibition Assay, colony blotting, Opsonophagocytosis assay |
| Cross-reactivity | This Mab reacted with polysaccharides from 11A strain but did not recognize type 6A polysaccharide |
| Proposed epitopes | Disaccharide rhamnose-(1-->4)-ribitol phosphate residues seemed to be the part of the epitope |
| IEDB Epitope | N/A |
| Proposed Utility | N/A |
