PolysacDB ID	2323
Carbohydrate Name	O-polysaccharide (Drugpedia)
Carbohydrate Class	Lipopolysaccharide
Microbe	Shigella flexneri (NCBI Taxonomy) (Drugpedia)
Basic Structure	Chemically, the O-antigen is a polysaccharide chain of variable length, built up by repetitive sequences of tetra- to hexasaccharides. It consists of a basic tetrasaccharide repeating unit consisting of three rhamnoses and one N-acetylglucosamine was common to all S. flexneri strains (except serotype 17): -2)-α-L-Rhap-(1-->2)-α-L-Rhap-(1-->3)-α-L-Rhap-(1-->3)-β-D-GlcpNAc-(1-->
BCSDB Structure	3707
Proposed functions	N/A
Antigenic Nature used to produce antibodies	Heat killed cells
Carrier Name	Nil
Conjugation Method	Nil
Antibodies	Antisera
Antibody type and class	N/A
Assay System	ELISA
Cross-reactivity	The highest titers seen were against serotype 3a and 3b LPSs
Proposed epitopes	In S. flexneri serotype 3a and 3b LPSs there is no structural feature to which the type III antigen epitope can be assigned. Instead, the serotype specificity is a consequence of the addition of two group antigen epitopes to the basic structure in serotype 3a (7,8 and 6 epitopes) and of one group antigen epitope to the basic structure in serotype 3b (6 epitope). The α-D-glucose-(1-->3)-α-L-rhamnose was assigned as the determinant for group 7,8 antigen, and the 2-O-acetyl-α-L-rhamnose III structure was assigned as the determinant for group 6 antigen
