โฆ Synopsis
The structure of the antigenic 0-polysaccharide part of the S-type lipopolysaccharide produced by Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae serotype 4 has been determined by periodate oxidation, methylation, partial hydrolysis, and 'Hand 13C-n.m.r. spectroscopy. The 0-polysaccharide structure has a branched-tetrasaccharide repeating unit, {+3)-/3-D-Galp-(l+4)-[~-D-Glcp-(l~3)]-~-D-GalpNAc-(1+4)-a-L-Rhap-(1-},,.
The structure resembles that of the lipopolysaccharide O-chain of A. pleuropneumoniae serotype 7, and their common epitopes may account for the apparent serological cross-reactivity observed between the two serotypes when incompletely adsorbed, anticapsular-typing sera are used.
