title: Structure of the O-antigen of Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae serotype 7 lipopolysaccharide.
abstract: The structure of the O-antigen polysaccharide of A. pleuropneumoniae serotype 7 was investigated by methylation analysis, partial acid hydrolysis, periodate oxidation, and 1H- and 13C-n.m.r. spectroscopy. The polysaccharide repeating-unit consists of a branched tetrasaccharide having the following structure. [formula: see text]
