Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Disclosed is a new and emerging serotype of Streptococcus pneumoniae designated serotype 6C, and assays and monoclonal antibodies useful in identifying same. Also disclosed is a novel pneumococcal polysaccharide with the repeating unit {2) glucose 1 (1→3) glucose 2 (1→3) rhamnose (1→3) ribitol (5→phosphate}. This new serotype may be included in pneumococcal vaccines.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. An assay component comprising an isolated antigen binding molecule that binds specifically to a polysaccharide repeating unit: {→2) glucose 1 (1→3) glucose 2 (1→3) rhamnose (1→3) ribitol (5→phosphate}. 2. An assay component comprising an isolated antigen binding molecule that binds with specificity to an antigen consisting of a polysaccharide repeating unit {→2) glucose 1 (1→3) glucose 2 (1→3) rhamnose (1→3) ribitol (5→phosphate}. 3. The assay component of claim 1 , wherein the isolated antigen binding molecule is a recombinant antigen binding molecule, a synthetic antigen binding molecule, a monoclonal antibody, or a polyclonal antibody. 4. An assay component that binds specifically to a polysaccharide having the repeating unit: {→2) glucose 1 (1→3) glucose 2 (1→3) rhamnose (1→3) ribitol (5→phosphate}, wherein the component comprises a monoclonal antibody is able to opsonize pneumococcal serotype designate 6C. 5. The assay component of claim 1 or 2 , wherein said antigen binding molecule is bound to an artificial solid surface.
