title: Structural analysis of the capsular antigen of Escherichia coli O8:K41:H11.
abstract: The primary structure of the acidic capsular antigen of Escherichia coli O8:K41:H11 was shown by monosaccharide analysis, methylation analysis, and by 1D and 2D (1)H amd (13)C NMR spectroscopy to be composed of branched pentasaccharide repeating units with the structure (formula: see text)
