| PolysacDB ID | 1123 |
| Carbohydrate Name | O-polysaccharide (Drugpedia) |
| Carbohydrate Class | Lipopolysaccharide |
| Microbe | Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae serotype 9 (NCBI Taxonomy) (Drugpedia) |
| Basic Structure | The structure consists of trisaccharide backbone randomly substituted by N-acetyl-β-D-glucosamine end groups (to the extent of 25%)
|
| BCSDB Structure | 131785 |
| Proposed functions | LPS is an important virulence factor. It molecule plays an important role in adherence of the bacterium to porcine respiratory tract cells and mucus |
| Antigenic Nature used to produce antibodies | Formalin-fixed A. pleuropneumoniae serotype 9 cells |
| Carrier Name | Nil |
| Conjugation Method | Nil |
| Antibodies | Polysera |
| Antibody type and class | N/A |
| Assay System | ELISA |
| Cross-reactivity | This antibody cross-reacted with serotypes 1 and 12. also cross-reacted with deaminated Serotype1 O-PS |
| Proposed epitopes | The epitope was deduced to contain the terminal nonreducing -D-Glc NAc residues. A second epitope was said to be directed to linear regions of the backbone polymer |
| IEDB Epitope | N/A |
| Proposed Utility | This antisera not only helped in serotyping analysis but also helped in deducing the epitopes recognized |
