title: Structure of the capsular antigen of Escherichia coli O8:K50:H-.
abstract: The primary structure of the acidic capsular antigen of Escherichia coli O8:K50:H- was shown by glycose analysis, methylation analysis, and one- and two-dimensional 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy to be composed of repeating linear tetrasaccharide units having the structure: (formula: see text).
