The immune response to group B streptococcus type III capsular polysaccharide is directed to the -Glc-GlcNAc-Gal- backbone epitope.
description:
The epitope structure represents one repetitive unit of the branched capsular polysaccharide of Group B Streptococcus serotype III.
The anti-epitope antisera reacted with native, heat-killed GBS type III cells. A siginificant increase in reactivity is seen after treatment of the cells with sialidase to remove the sialic acid residue that represents the only difference between the polysaccharides of GBS type III and S. pneumoniae type 14.
