The specific polysaccharide of Streptococcus pneumoniae type 11F (American type 11) is composed of 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-D-glucose (one part), D-glucose (one part), D-galactose (two parts), ribitol (one part), phosphate (one part), and O-acetyl (two parts). Hydrolysis, dephosphorylation, periodate oxidation, methylation, optical rotation, and 1H and 13C nuclear magnetic resonance studies showed that the polysaccharide is an unbranched linear polymer of a ribitol-phosphate substituted repeating tetrasaccharide unit having the structure:[Formula: see text]The specific capsular polysaccharides of S. pneumoniae type 11B and 11C (American types 76 and 53) were found to have the same tetrasaccharide repeating unit as the 11F polysaccharide, but differed from it in their mode of O-acetylation and the replacement of the ribitol phosphate by glycerol phosphate in the 11C specific polysaccharide.

Background: Bronchiectasis is a chronic condition which can result in significant physical and social morbidity. The exact prevalence in Malaysia is unknown although several studies have shown a higher prevalence in the Asian population. Several causative factors have been identified but there are many patients with unknown aetiologies. This study looks into the level of serum immunoglobulins and antipenumococcal antibody in bronchiectasis patients where they were not part of prior routine investigations. Methodology: Four hundred fifteen bronchiectasis patients were screened and 26 patients who fulfilled the inclusion and exclusion criteria were enrolled for this study. The serum immunoglobulins (IgG, IgA and IgM) concentrations were measured using nephelometry and interpreted according to age-matched reference range. The integrity of antibody production against specific antibody to capsular polysaccharides of Streptococcus pneumoniae were assessed using ELISA method and the level of ≥ 10mg/L is considered as reactive. Results: The twenty six bronchiectasis patients have the mean age of 62 years and a predilection of female gender. Majority of patients presented with typical bronchiectasis symptoms which were further supported by radiological findings. One of 26 patients (4%) had low total serum IgG level. The vaccinated group has higher anti-pneumococcal capsular polysaccharide antibody level (median: 224.2 mg/L) compared to the unvaccinated group (median: 100.4 mg/L). However there is no statistical difference between the anti-PCP levels of both groups (p> 0.05). All of the selected patients had reactive specific antibody to capsular polysaccharides of Streptococcus pneumoniae regardless of the vaccination status, which may reflect the natural acquisition of anti-pneumococcal immunity. Conclusion: Although immunoglobulin deficiency is an uncommon aetiological cause of bronchiectasis, the immunoglobulin parameters can be helpful in selecting patients who should receive the appropriate treatment of immunoglobulin therapy for the prevention of subsequent complications and better quality of life.

The structure of the specific capsular polysaccharide produced by Streptococcuspneumoniae type 22F (American type 22) was investigated by high-field 1H and 13C nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, composition, methylation analysis, and periodate oxidation studies. The polysaccharide was found to be a high molecular weight acidic polymer composed of D-glucose, D-galactose, D-glucuronic acid, and L-rhamnose residues to form a regular repeating hexasaccharide unit having the structure[Formula: see text]in which the β-L-rhamnopyranosyl residues were substituted by O-acetyl groups in 80% of the repeating units. The 1H and 13C nmr resonances of the O-deacetylated type 22F polysaccharide were completely assigned by application of two-dimensional homo- and heteronuclear chemical shift correlation techniques.
