title: Structure of the type-specific polysaccharide antigen of Streptococcus rattus.
abstract: The structure of the type-specific polysaccharide antigen of Streptococcus rattus was determined by methylation analysis, periodate oxidation, and by 2D-1H- and 13C-n.m.r.-spectroscopy. The polysaccharide was found to possess the trisaccharide repeating unit----3)-alpha-L-Rhap-(1----2)-[alpha-D-Galp-(1----3)]-alpha-L-+ ++Rhap- (1----.
