PolysacDB ID1547
Carbohydrate NameLipophosphoglycan   (Drugpedia)
Carbohydrate ClassGlycolipid
Microbe NameLeishmania mexicana   (NCBI Taxonomy)   (Drugpedia)
Basic StructureLPG contains [PO4-->6Gal(β1-->4)Man(α1)] phosphosaccharide repeats linked to a conserved phosphosaccharide core and a conserved lyso alkylphosphatidylinositol residue. In contrast to L. donovani LPG, which exclusively contains the phosphodisaccharide repeats
BCSDB Structure2568
Proposed FunctionN/A
Antigenic NatureConcanavalin A (ConA)-binding membrane components from L. mexicana
Carrier NameNil
Conjugate MethodNil
AntibodiesMab L7.25
Antibody Type ClassIgM
Assay SystemELISA, immunoblotting
Cross ReactivityThis Mab cross-reacted with a highly glycosylated protein - acid phosphatase
Proposed EpitopeThe epitope was proposed to consist of phosphosaccharide repeats or the sugar residues forming the cap at the non-reducing end
IEDB Epitope76720
Proposed UtilityThe epitopes recognized by this Mab have been localized in promastigotes and infected macrophages
Curator IDAA + AS
Date of Curation03-09-2010
