| PolysacDB ID | 1455 |
| Carbohydrate Name | Lipopolysaccharide (Drugpedia) |
| Carbohydrate Class | Lipopolysaccharide |
| Microbe | Haemophilus ducreyi (NCBI Taxonomy) (Drugpedia) |
| Basic Structure | It consist of an oligosaccharide core ketosidically linked via a 3-deoxy-D-manno-octulosonic acid (Kdo) residue to the lipid A region. The oligosaccharide core characteristic of these bacteria has been divided into two regions: (i) an inner core, consisting of three L-glycero-D-manno-heptose (Hep) residues and one phosphorylated Kdo residue, and (ii) an outer core, with one or more heterogeneous oligosaccharide branches containing mainly galactose (Gal) and glucose (Glc) residues

| BCSDB Structure | N/A |
| Proposed functions | LPS plays an important role in the infection process |
| Antigenic Nature used to produce antibodies | Total membrane preparation of H. ducreyi |
| Carrier Name | Nil |
| Conjugation Method | Nil |
| Antibodies | Mab DP8 |
| Antibody type and class | IgG1 |
| Assay System | Whole-cell enzyme immunoassay (Enzyme Immunoassay) and colony dot immunoblotting |
| Cross-reactivity | This Mab cross-reacted with 50 strains of H. ducreyi but not with any other bacteria tested |
| Proposed epitopes | Phosphate groups seemed to be an important part of the epitope. The epitope consists of Glcβ1-->4Hepα1-->Kdo(P) that is linked via 1-->3 linkage to Hepα1-->2Hep |
| IEDB Epitope | N/A |
| Proposed Utility | This Mab would help to detect the organism in environmental samples and clinical specimens |
