PolysacDB ID2470
Carbohydrate NameSurface polysaccharide antigen   (Drugpedia)
Carbohydrate ClassCapsular polysaccharide
Microbe NameEubacterium saburreum strain T18   (NCBI Taxonomy)   (Drugpedia)
Basic StructureThis antigen was composed of D-glycero-D-galacto-heptose
BCSDB StructureN/A
Proposed FunctionN/A
Antigenic NatureWhole cells
Carrier NameNil
Conjugate MethodNil
AntibodiesAntisera
Antibody Type ClassIgM
Assay SystemImmunoprecipitation, immunodiffusion
Cross ReactivityThis antisera was specific to T18 antigen and did not cross-react with L44 antigen and T27 antigen
Proposed EpitopeD-glycero-D-galacto-heptose constitutes part of the immunodeterminant of the antigenic polysaccharide
IEDB EpitopeN/A
Proposed UtilityThe polysaccharide antigen from strain T18 is distinct from those previously reported for this species and may be useful in serotyping E. saburreum
