Term Name:	[4)-alpha-D-Glcp-(1->4)-alpha-D-Glcp-(1->4)-alpha-D-Glcp-(1->] residue
Synonyms:	[4)-alpha-D-Glc-(1->4)-alpha-D-Glc-(1->4)-alpha-D-Glc-(1->] residue, [4)-alpha-D-glucopyranosyl-(1->4)-alpha-D-glucopyranosyl-(1->4)-alpha-D-glucopyranosyl-(1->], [4)-alpha-D-glucosyl-(1->4)-alpha-D-glucosyl-(1->4)-alpha-D-glucosyl-(1->], alpha-maltotriose epitope, alpha-maltotriose residue, alpha-maltotriose trisaccharide residue
Definition:	A trisaccharide residue obtained from alpha-maltotriose by removal of the anomeric hydroxy group from the residue at the reducing end and the hydrogen attached to the 4-hydroxy group of the residue at the non-reducing end. Corresponds to the minimal monoclonal antibody (Mab) binding epitope for the binding of Mabs to mycobacterial capsular alpha-glucans of Mycobacterium smegmatis.
