Abstract excerpt
The structure of the core oligosaccharide from a pneumonic Histophilus somni (Haemophilus somnus) strain 2336 was elucidated. The lipooligosaccharide (LOS) was subjected to a variety of degradative procedures. The structures of the purified products were established by monosaccharide and methylation analyses, NMR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry. The following structure for the core oligosaccharide was...
