PolysacDB ID | 1527 |
Carbohydrate Name | Lipopolysaccharide (Drugpedia) |
Carbohydrate Class | Lipopolysaccharide |
Microbe | Klebsiella pneumoniae O1:K2 (NCBI Taxonomy) (Drugpedia) |
Basic Structure | N/A |
BCSDB Structure | N/A |
Proposed functions | It has been shown to be an important virulence factor and potent antigen for the induction of immunoprotection |
Antigenic Nature used to produce antibodies | LPS-associated proteins plus LPS |
Carrier Name | Nil |
Conjugation Method | Nil |
Antibodies | Mab 3C2 |
Antibody type and class | IgM |
Assay System | ELISA |
Cross-reactivity | This Mab cross-reacted with K. pneumoniae R:K18, a rough strain. This Mab did not cross-react with LPS from Klebsiella strains of the 02, 03, and 04 serotypes nor LPS from E. coli 0111:B4 |
Proposed epitopes | This Mab recognized the LPS core |

PolysacDB ID | 2604 |
Carbohydrate Name | Capsular polysaccharide (Drugpedia) |
Carbohydrate Class | Capsular polysaccharide |
Microbe | Cryptococcus neoformans Serotype C (NCBI Taxonomy) (Drugpedia) |
Basic Structure | The capsular polysaccharide has a linear α-(1-->3)-linked mannose backbone that is substituted with nonreducing D-xylosyl and D-glucuronosyl acid groups. The mannose backbone is partially O-acetylated |
BCSDB Structure | 136942 |
Proposed functions | The capsular polysaccharide is an important virulence factor |
Antigenic Nature used to produce antibodies | Glycoconjugates |
Carrier Name | Sheep erythrocytes |
Conjugation Method | The capsular polysaccharide was adsorbed with 0.1 ml of packed sheep erythrocytes for 2 hours at room temperature |
Antibodies | Mab 3C2 |
Antibody type and class | N/A |
Assay System | ELISA and Immunodiffusion |
Cross-reactivity | This antibody cross-reacted with Serotype A,B,C and D serotypes |
Proposed epitopes | N/A |
IEDB Epitope | N/A |
Proposed Utility | Used to differentiate various strains of all serotypes. This monoclonal antibody promoted opsonization of Cryptococcus cells |
