Which of the following is not an example of polysaccharide of bacterial capsule? Correct Answer Streptomycin
T-independent antigens (specifically TI-2) plays a very important role in shaping various vaccines and bacterial capsules as polysaccharide is the major component of these antigens. These antigens do not induce immunological memory. However, the antibodies to TI antigens develop after the age of 2 years in humans. Polysaccharides of bacterial capsule include Streptococcus, Haemophilys and Neisseria which play an important role in engaging BCRs.
