6C5I, 6C5H, 6C5K, 6C5J - PubMed Abstract: 
Murine antibodies S25-23, S25-26, and S25-5 derive from a common germ-line origin, and all bind the Chlamydiaceae family-specific epitope αKdo(2→8)αKdo(2→4)αKdo (where Kdo is 3-deoxy-α-d- manno-oct-2-ulosonic acid) with high affinity and specificity. The ...
