The lipopolysaccharide of Helicobacter mustelae type strain ATCC 43772 was obtained by phenol-water extraction of bacterial cells. Structural investigations were made on the lipid A free saccharide moiety released from the lipopolysaccharide by mild acetic acid hydrolysis. Nuclear magnetic resonance, gas liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry and fast atom bombardment-mass spectrometry were employed in the characterization of products from chemical manipulations. A monoclonal antibody specific for blood group A reacted strongly with lipopolysaccharide of H. mustelae. Chemical and serological data showed that the outer core region of the lipopolysaccharide from H. mustelae ATCC 43772 expresses the monofucosyl A type 1, α-d-GalNAc-(1→3)-[α-l-Fuc-(1→2]-β-d-Gal-(1→3)-β-d-GlcNAc, blood group determinant, a mimic of animal cell surface glycolipids and glycoproteins.
