N. meningitidis group C polysaccharide
n. meningitidis group c polysaccharide
A polysaccharide derivative that is the group C polysaccharide of <em>Neisseria meningitidis</em>, consisting of α(2→9)-linked sialic acid units. The polysaccharide chains can be conjugated to a carrier protein (<em>e.g.</em> CRM<small><sub>197)</sub></small>, tetanus toxoid, ovalbumin, Hel) at a single site on the polysaccharide reducing end, at both termini of the (difuntional) polysaccharide chain or randomly along the polysaccharide chain (cross-linked).
