PolysacDB ID1617
Carbohydrate NameLipooligosaccharide   (Drugpedia)
Carbohydrate ClassLipopolysaccharide
MicrobeMoraxella catarrhalis serotype A   (NCBI Taxonomy)   (Drugpedia)
Basic StructureLOS consists of an oligosaccharide and lipid A and is similar to the lipopolysaccharide (LPS) of gramnegative enteric pathogens, but it lacks the O-antigenic side chain of repeating units characteristic of classical LPS. The oligosaccharide part consists of the following residues : α-D-Galp-(1-->4)-β-D-Galp-(1-->4)-α-D-Glcp-(1-->2)-β-D-Glcp-(1-->6)-α-D-Glcp [branched to α-D-GlcpNAc-(1-->2)-β-D-Glcp-(1-->4)] and [branched to β-D-Glcp-(1-->3)] -(1-->5)-Kdo

BCSDB Structure22728
Proposed functionsMoracella lipooligosaccharide is a potential virulence factor
Antigenic Nature used to produce antibodiesHeat inactivated Moraxella catarrhalis serotype A
Carrier NameNil
Conjugation MethodNil
AntibodiesMab 219A9
Antibody type and classIgM
Assay SystemELISA, bactericidal assays and immunofluorescence assay
Cross-reactivityMAb 219A9 was specific for a common epitope of A, B, and C M. catarrhalis serotypes. It also cross-reacted with whole bacteria and LPS antigens isolated from non-typeable H. influenzae and H. parainfluenzae strains
Proposed epitopes6-linked branch α-D-Galpara-(1-->4)-β-D-Galpara-(1-->4)-α-D-Glcpara-(1-->2)-β-D-lcpara seemed to be a part of the epitope
IEDB EpitopeN/A
Proposed UtilityThis Mab possessed a strong bactericidal effect against the three serotypes in the presence of complement
