[edit] Carbohydrate Name

Cell wall polysaccharide

[edit] Carbohydrate Class

Miscellaneous

[edit] Source Microbe

Streptococcus mutans LM7 Serotype e

[edit] Basic Structure

N/A

[edit] Proposed functions

N/A

[edit] Antigenic Nature used to produce antibodies

Whole cells

[edit] Carrier Name

nil

[edit] Conjugation Method

nil

[edit] Antibodies

Mab S3-9

[edit] Antibody type and class

IgM

[edit] Assay System

Radioimmunoassay, Immunodiffusion tests

[edit] Cross-reactivity

Mab S3-9 reacted with hot-saline extracts of strain LM7, MT703, and P4 (type e) cells but did not react at all with extracts of other S. mutans strains

[edit] Proposed epitopes

β-glucosyl moiety of the e-polysaccharide seemed to make up the immunodominant region

[edit] Proposed Utility

This Mab can be used for immunodetection of serotype e Streptococcal cells
