The surface M antigen of Brucella species has been identified as the lipopolysaccharide O-polysaccharide component composed of a repeating pentasaccharide unit containing a sequence of one 1,3- and four 1,2-linked, 4,6-dideoxy-4-formamido-alpha-D-mannopyranosyl units. A neutral polysaccharide produced by Brucella species and referred to as polysaccharide B (poly B) has been identified as a family of circular 1,2-linked polymers of beta-D-glucopyranosyl units ranging in ring size from 17 to 24 glucosyl units.
布鲁氏菌属的表面M抗原已被鉴定为脂多糖O-多糖成分,其由一个重复的五糖单元组成,该单元包含一个1,3-连接和四个1,2-连接的4,6-二脱氧-4-甲酰胺基-α-D-甘露吡喃糖基单元序列。布鲁氏菌属产生的一种中性多糖,称为多糖B(聚B),已被鉴定为β-D-吡喃葡萄糖基单元的环状1,2-连接聚合物家族,其环大小范围为17至24个葡萄糖基单元。
