Carbohydrate Name

Lipoarabinomannan-B

Carbohydrate Class

Miscellaneous

Source Microbe

Mycobacterium leprae

Basic Structure

Mycobacterial lipoarabinomannan is a phosphatidylinositol anchored lipoglycan that consists of an α1-->6 linked backbone, substituted to varying degrees at position 2 with single α-Man residues and directly attached to position 6 of the myo-inositol of a phosphatidylinositol (PI) anchor

Proposed functions

T cell proliferation and to interfere with gamma interferon-mediated activation of macrophages

Antigenic Nature used to produce antibodies

soluble extract of M. leprae

Carrier Name

nil

Conjugation Method

nil

Antibodies

Mab SAl.C11H

Antibody type and class

IgG1

Assay System

Antigen capture ELISA, direct binding assay,

Cross-reactivity

This Mab was specific to M. leprae even though it cross-reacted to a little extent with lipoarabinomannan from M. tuberculosis

Proposed epitopes

N/A

Proposed Utility

This Mab becomes applicable for monitoring several individual M . Leprae antigens such as lipoarabinomannan
