Carbohydrate ClassLipopolysaccharide
MicrobeBordetella pertusis 18530   (NCBI Taxonomy)   (Drugpedia)
Basic StructureN/A
BCSDB StructureN/A
Proposed functionsThe LOS of B. pertussis exhibits biological activities similar to those of endotoxins from other gram-negative bacteria, including pyrogenicity, toxicity, induction of the Shwartzman reaction, induction of tumor necrosis factor production, and adjuvant properties
Antigenic Nature used to produce antibodiesB. pertussis 18530 LPS
Carrier NameNil
Conjugation MethodNil
AntibodiesMab 6-4-H6
Antibody type and classIgG3
Assay SystemELISA
Cross-reactivityThis antibody cross-reacted with delipidated polysaccharide fragments (PS-1 and PS-2). did not react with LPS prepared from B. parapertussis and B. bronchiseptica. No cross-reactions were observed with strains of Branhamella catarrhalis, Neisseria meningitidis, Streptococcus miteor, Haemophilus influenza, or Legionella pneumophila
Proposed epitopesN/A
IEDB EpitopeN/A
Proposed UtilityThis Mab might be useful for the detection of soluble antigens and whole bacteria in clinical samples and for studies of the immunochemical structure of B. pertussis LPS.
