Carbohydrate Name

Lipopolysaccharide

Carbohydrate Class

Lipopolysaccharide

Source Microbe

Rhizobium leguminosarum Strain B556

Basic Structure

N/A

Proposed functions

Structural modifications of Rhizobium LPS may play an important role in the adaptation of endosymbiotic rhizobia to the surrounding microenvironment

Antigenic Nature used to produce antibodies

Whole cells

Carrier Name

nil

Conjugation Method

nil

Antibodies

Mab AFRC JIM 25

Antibody type and class

IgG2b

Assay System

ELISA, immunoblotting

Cross-reactivity

This Mab was specific to the immunizing strain

Proposed epitopes

N/A

Proposed Utility

This Mab may help study the structural modifications of Rhizobium LPS that may play an important role in the physiological adaptation of rhizobia to the microenvironmental conditions of the nodule, in particular in the adaptation of endosymbiotic bacteroids to the peribacteroid fluid
