PolysacDB ID1243
Carbohydrate NameO-polysaccharide   (Drugpedia)
Carbohydrate ClassLipopolysaccharide
MicrobeBrucella melitensis 16M   (NCBI Taxonomy)   (Drugpedia)
Basic StructureO-polysaccharide is a homopolymer of 4,6-dideoxy-4-formamidoct-D-mannopyranose residues
BCSDB StructureN/A
Proposed functionsN/A
Antigenic Nature used to produce antibodiesB.melitensis 16M formaldehyde-killed cells
Carrier NameNil
Conjugation MethodNil
AntibodiesMab BM2-10
Antibody type and classIgG3
Assay SystemELISA, immunodiffusion and competitive inhibition assay
Cross-reactivityThis antibody cross-reacted with the O-polysaccharide of B. abortus and did not cross-react with the Yersinia enterocolitica O:9 polysaccharide
Proposed epitopesThis Mab reacted with both A and M antigens. The crucial element of the M epitope is a disaccharide, α-D-Rha4NFo(1-->3)α-D Rha4NFo, that requires adjacent αl,2-linked residues for full activity. The common epitope of A and M antigens is a linear α1,2-linked tri or tetrasaccharide
IEDB Epitope76740
Proposed UtilityThis Mab can be used as a use as standard Brucella typing or detection reagents
