Pneumococcal Cell Wall Polysaccharide (CWPS Multi)

Pneumococci produce a conserved sugar group antigen (CWPS, C-Ps, teichoic acid). Recent research has shown at least two different variants, based on the quantity of phosphorylcholine (CWPS1 and CWPS2) (article 2). CWPS Multi consists of 50% CWPS1 and 50% CWPS2.

Product Description

Pneumococcal CWPS sugar (1 and 2) is produced by purifying the sugar from well-defined non-capsule-bearing pneumococcal reference strains. The protein and DNA/RNA impurity is minimal, less than 3% of the total quantity.

Clinical Relevance

Streptococcus pneumoniae expresses a number of different sugars on the cell surface. Most sugars are in the cell capsule, which defines the 92 different pneumococcal serotypes currently known. In addition to the type-specific capsule sugars, all pneumococci also express a group antigen, referred to as the cell wall polysaccharide (CWPS). CWPS is found in two different forms, depending on the quantity of phosphorylcholine per sugar unit. The capsule sugars are found in existing vaccines, partly in conjugate vaccine for children, but also in pure sugar vaccines for adults.

Expert knowledge in producing

Broad range of pneumococcal antigens

For adsorption material in immunological investigations such as ELISA antibody assay

We offer experienced technical support

How to use

Pneumococcal CWPS Multi is used as adsorption material in immunological investigations such as ELISA antibody assays, to evaluate whether any vaccination/revaccination is desirable. When CWPS Multi is used, adsorption with the 22F capsule, as recommended by WHO for ELISA (article　1), is not required.
