Sample text

Influenzae lacks an O-antigen and thus consists of a simple set of monosaccharides (87). 1. Structure of LPS of H. influenzae The lipid A of H. influenzae consists of a β-(1,6)-1inked D-glucosamine disaccharide substituted by phosphate groups at C-1 of the reducing, and C-4 of the non-reducing D-glucosamine. The diglucosamine is further substituted by four molecules of (R)-3-hydroxytetradecanoic acid linked by amide linkages at the 2 and 2' positions and ester linkages at the 3 and 3' positions.

4. Lipopolysaccharide Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) is the major component of the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria. A hydrophobic lipid moiety, lipid A, constitutes about 60% (w/w) of the LPS of H. influenzae ,while the remainder of this molecule consists of hydrophilic polysaccharide (86). Lipid A is embedded in the outer membrane, while the polysaccharide portion extends outward from the 36 Aubrey and Tang bacterial surface. As well as being an extremely important surface-exposed immunogen, LPS is essential for the integrity and functioning of the cell membrane.
