O-Acetylation in the O-specific polysaccharide isolated from Shigella flexneri serotype 2a
Carbohydrate Research 342(3-4) (2007) 643-647
 

Shigella flexneri causes diarrheal diseases especially in infants and children in developing countries. Modifications of the lipopolysaccharide (LPS) molecule, like bacteriophage-mediated glucosylation and acetylation of the O-specific chain (O-SP), are important for the LPS antigenicity and consequently for the immunogenicity of the polysaccharide-based vaccines against shigellosis. Here, we report the degree of O-acetylation and the localisation of O-acetyl groups and side-chain glucose substitution in the O-SP (scheme) in different preparations of S. flexneri type 2a LPS
