PolysacDB ID1164
Carbohydrate NameLipopolysaccharide   (Drugpedia)
Carbohydrate ClassLipopolysaccharide
MicrobeBordetella pertusis 1414   (NCBI Taxonomy)   (Drugpedia)
Basic StructureB. pertusis LPS is resolved electrophoretically into two bands, a slowly migrating band designated LOS A and a fast-migrating band designated LOS B. These two species differ in molecular weight as three N-acetyl amino sugars found on LOS A are not present on LOS B
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. pertusis LPS
Carrier NameNil
Conjugation MethodNil
AntibodiesMab P1P3
Antibody type and classIgM
Assay SystemELISA and Immunostaining
Cross-reactivityThis Mab did not cross-react with the B. pertusis variant strain A100 but cross-reacted with a B. bronchiseptica LPS and B. parapertussis LPS
Proposed epitopesThe epitope was proposed to be terminal sugar units nonacetylated glucosamine substituted with L-glycero-b-manno-heptose, present in the 'core' of the B. pertussis LPS. The carbon atoms 3,4, and 6 of this glucosamine unit could be involved in the epitope
IEDB EpitopeN/A
Proposed UtilityThis Mab can be useful for rapid typing of Bordetella in clinical isolates and can be used to detect antigenic modifications in LPSs from variant B. pertassis strains, or from related Bordetella species (B. parapertassis, B. bronchiseptica

Antigenic Nature used to produce antibodiesB. pertusis LPS
Carrier NameNil
Conjugation MethodNil
AntibodiesMab D7
Antibody type and classIgG3
Assay SystemELISA and Immunostaining
Cross-reactivityDid not cross-react with the B. pertusis variant strain A101
Proposed epitopesThe epitope recognized by D7 is affected by the addition of the O-side chain and that a portion of the distal trisaccharide could be involved in this epitope. This suggests therefore that this epitope may consist of the FucN(Ac)Me-->GlcN disaccharide
IEDB EpitopeN/A
Proposed UtilityThis Mab can be useful for rapid typing of Bordetella in clinical isolates and can be used to detect antigenic modifications in LPSs from variant B. pertassis strains, or from related Bordetella species (B. parapertassis, B. bronchiseptica

AntibodiesMab 60.5
Antibody type and classIgM
Assay SystemELISA and Immunostaining
Cross-reactivityThis Mab did not cross-react with the B. pertusis variant strain A102 but cross-reacted with a B. bronchiseptica LPS
Proposed epitopesThe epitope was proposed to be terminal region of a distal trisaccharide GlcNAc-->2,3-NAcManA-->FucN(Ac)Me consisting of Nacetylated amino sugars. A next carbohydrate unit (2,3-NAcManA) may be partially involved in the recognized epitope
IEDB EpitopeN/A
Proposed UtilityThis Mab can be useful for rapid typing of Bordetella in clinical isolates and can be used to detect antigenic modifications in LPSs from variant B. pertassis strains, or from related Bordetella species (B. parapertassis, B. bronchiseptica
