[edit] Carbohydrate Name

Synthetic disaccharide abequose(1-->3)-α-rhamnose representative of Salmonella O-antigen 8

[edit] Carbohydrate Class

O-polysaccharide [LPS]

[edit] Source Microbe

Salmonella spp.

[edit] Basic Structure

Synthetic disaccharide abequose1-->3α-rhamnose

[edit] Proposed functions

N/A

[edit] Antigenic Nature used to produce antibodies

Glycoconjugate

[edit] Carrier Name

BSA

[edit] Conjugation Method

N/A

[edit] Antibodies

Antisera

[edit] Antibody type and class

N/A

[edit] Assay System

immunofluorescence and co-agglutination (COA)

[edit] Cross-reactivity

The antiserum correctly identified all 99 Salmonella serogroup C2 and C3 bacteria with O-antigen 8. No fluorescence was seen with 484 Salmonella bacteria belonging to other serogroups or 567 non-Salmonella enteric bacteria

[edit] Proposed epitopes

N/A

[edit] Proposed Utility

This antisera was used for diagnosis of Salmonella bacteria by indirect immunofluorescence (IFL) and by co-agglutination (COA) using sensitized protein A-containing staphylococci
