Structures of Capsular Polysaccharide Serotypes 35F and 35C of Streptococcus pneumoniae Determined by Nuclear Magnetic Resonance and Their Relation to Other Cross-Reactive Serotypes.

Abstract excerpt

UNLABELLED: The structures of Streptococcus pneumoniae capsular polysaccharides (CPSs) are essential for defining the antigenic as well as genetic relationships between CPS serotypes. The four serotypes that comprise CPS serogroup 35 (i.e., types 35F, 35A, 35B, and 35C) are known to cross-react with genetically related type 20, 29, 34, 42, or 47F. While the structures of CPS serotype 35A (CPS35A) and CPS35B are...
