Fig. 2. (A) 1H NMR of purified Sf2a OSP and Sf3a OSP antigens used in conjugation; (B) 13C NMR of same.
The signals of OSP predominate; however, some signature peaks, such as the two peaks in 13C NMR between 53 and 54 ppm representing C-2 of the two amino sugars (GlcNAc and GlcN) in core demonstrate retention of inner and outer core. Both 1H NMR and 13C NMR experiments were measured in D2O at 25 °C in Shigemi NMR tube, at 600 MHz (150 MHz for 13C NMR) on a Bruker Avance Spectrometer with a TCI cryoprobe. Samples were prepared at ~10 mg/mL concentration.
