The structure was elucidated in this paper NCBI PubMed ID:8050099 Journal NLM ID:0043535 Publisher: Elsevier Institutions: Equipe ''Endotoxines'' (U.R.A. 1116) du Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique, Université de Paris-Sud, Orsay, France
A branched-chain hexasaccharide containing 3-deoxy-D-manno-oct-2-ulosonic acid was released by detergent-promoted hydrolysis from Bordetella pertussis endotoxin preparations that were first dephosphorylated with aqueous HF and then treated with nitrous acid. Its structure (2) [Formula: See text] was determined by chemical and physical methods. This hexasaccharide is present in all four lipopolysaccharides that make up the B. pertussis strain 1414 (phase 1) endotoxin preparations analysed, and is situated near to the hydrophobic domains. An analogous structure reported previously (ref 7) is erroneous and should be disregarded.
