Neisserial Lipooligosaccharide Is a Target for Complement Component C4b

1 Dec 2003

Abstract excerpt

We identified Neisseria meningitidis lipooligosaccharide (LOS) as an acceptor for complement component C4b (C4b). Phosphoethanolamine (PEA) residues on the second heptose (HepII) residue in the LOS core structure formed amide linkages with C4b. PEA at the 6-position of HepII (6-PEA) was more efficient than 3-PEA in binding C4b. Strains bearing 6-PEA bound more C4b than strains with 3-PEA and were more susceptible...
