Popis: Using serogroup- and serotype-specific murine monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) to Pseudomonas syringae lipopolysaccharide (IPS) O-poiysaccharides (OPS) (=0 chains) with elucidated primary chemical structure of the O-repeating units, a rather high diversity of the OPS-reiated epiiopes was demonstrated and most of them were inferred. The immunogenic properties of the O-serogroup- and O-serotype-specific epitopes were shown to depend on the nature and the number of sugar residues in the O-repeat as weil as on the arrangement of the monosaccharides and the mode of linkages between them.
