| PolysacDB ID | 1817 |
| Carbohydrate Name | Capsular polysaccharide (Drugpedia) |
| Carbohydrate Class | Capsular polysaccharide |
| Microbe | Neisseria meningitidis Serogroup C (NCBI Taxonomy) (Drugpedia) |
| Basic Structure | It consists of a homopolymer of α(2-->9)-linked sialic acid residues. |
| BCSDB Structure | 130704 |
| Proposed functions | It is an important virulence factor |
| Antigenic Nature used to produce antibodies | Glycoconjugates |
| Carrier Name | Tetanus toxoid |
| Conjugation Method | The oligosaccharide was activated using NaIO4 at 4°C for 60 min and combined with monomeric tetanus toxoid in sodium phosphate buffer containing NaBH3CN and heated at 37°C for 5 days |
| Antibodies | Mab C2/998.3 |
| Antibody type and class | IgG1 |
