PolysacDB ID2211
Carbohydrate NameCapsular Vi polysaccharide   (Drugpedia)
Carbohydrate ClassCapsular polysaccharide
Microbe NameSalmonella typhi   (NCBI Taxonomy)   (Drugpedia)
Basic StructureThe salmonella Vi Capsular polysaccharide is a linear homopolymer of α[1-->4]-O-acetyl-N-acetyl-galactosaminuronic acid
BCSDB Structure3149
Proposed FunctionIt is an important virulence factor. The Vi capsule shields the bacteria against phagocytosis by its surface negative charge properties and by covering cell-envelope components sensitive to serum opsonins
Antigenic NatureHeat killed bacteria and purified Vi polysaccharide
Carrier NameNil
Conjugate MethodNil
AntibodiesMab MATy-V7
Antibody Type ClassIgM
Assay SystemInhibition enzyme immunoassay
Cross ReactivityThis Mab was specific to Vi antigen
Proposed EpitopeN/A
IEDB EpitopeN/A
Proposed UtilityThis Mab was shown to be a useful serotyping agent by correct identification in slide agglutination tests of 32 clinical isolates of all the S. typhi and other serogroup D salmonellae among a total of 140 bacterial isolates representing eight different Enterobacteriaceae genera tested
Curator IDAA + AS
