The specific capsular antigen of Streptococcus pneumoniae serotype 35B was shown by a combination of 2D NMR methods and mass spectrometric and classical carbohydarate chemical techniques to be a high molecular weihgt polymer containing D-galactose, D-glucose, 2-acetamido-2deoxy-D-galactose, and ribitol (2:1:1:1). The polysaccharide repeating unit is polymerized through phosphate diester linkages to give the structure {structure}. Seventy persent of the bDGalf residues glycosidically linked to the ribitol units carry an O-acetyl sustituent.
