    Author: Van der Kaaden A, Gerwig GJ, Kamerling JP, Vliegenthart JF, Tiesjema RH.
    Journal: Eur J Biochem; 1985 Nov 04; 152(3):663-8. PubMed ID: 3932071.
    Abstract:
    The capsular antigen isolated from the culture liquid of a Neisseria meningitidis serogroup K(1811) fermentation consists of the 2-acetamido-2-deoxymannuronic acid disaccharide repeating unit as follows: ----3)-beta-D-ManpNAcA-(1----4)-beta-D-ManpNAcA-(1---- The polysaccharide is O-acetylated at the non-glycosylated C-4. Structural evidence has been obtained from sugar analysis, methylation analysis, as well as 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy.
