Basic StructureLPS is a complex macromolecule composed of the biologically active lipid A moiety, covalently attached core oligosaccharide, and distally linked polysaccharide O-side chain. The O-antigen part consists of the following residues : -2)-α-D-Manp [branched to α-Abep-(1-->3)] -(1-->4)-α-L-Rhap-(1-->3)-α-D-Galp-(1-
BCSDB Structure124341
Proposed functionsLPS plays an important virulence role based on its antiphagocytic and endotoxic properties
Antigenic Nature used to produce antibodiesHeated, alcohol-acetone-extracted Sabnonella newport CDC 50 antigen
Carrier NameNil
Conjugation MethodNil
AntibodiesMab 32-1-E3
Antibody type and classIgG3
Assay SystemEnzyme immunosorbent assay, immunoblotting
Cross-reactivityThis Mab cross-reacts with Sablonella groups C2 (0:6,8) and C3 (0:-,8) but not with those from any other serogroup tested
Proposed epitopesN/A
IEDB EpitopeN/A
Proposed UtilityThe MAb agglutinated with all strains of Salmonella serogroups C2 and C3 tested but not with other bacteria. The MAb is useful as a replacement for absorbed, polyclonal, single-factor 0:8 antiserum to discriminate Salmonella serogroups C2 and C3 from serogroup Cl
