Carbohydrate Name

Surface polysaccharide antigen

Carbohydrate Class

Miscellaneous

Source Microbe

Eubacterium saburreum strain T18

Basic Structure

This antigen was composed of D-glycero-D-galacto-heptose

Proposed functions

N/A

Antigenic Nature used to produce antibodies

Whole cells

Carrier Name

nil

Conjugation Method

nil

Antibodies

Antisera

Antibody type and class

IgM

Assay System

immunoprecipitation, immunodiffusion

Cross-reactivity

This antisera was specific to T18 antigen and did not cross-react with L44 antigen and T27 antigen

Proposed epitopes

D-glycero-D-galacto-heptose constitutes part of the immunodeterminant of the antigenic polysaccharide

Proposed Utility

The polysaccharide antigen from strain T18 is distinct from those previously reported for this species and may be useful in serotyping E. saburreum
