Definition

A polysaccharide derivative comprised of a [2)-α-L-Rhap^III-(1→2)-α-L-Rhap^II-(1→3)-α-L-Rhap^I-(1→3)-β-D-GlcpNAc-(1→] tetrasaccharide repeat modified by the (1→4) linkage of an α-D-glucosyl group to the Rha^I residue and by addition of an acetyl group to 50% of the O-6 positions of the GlcNAc residue. The structure provided is representative of that in Shigella flexneri serotype 2a and shows the repeating unit containing the acetyl group on the GlcNAc residue.
