KDO
KDO (3-Deoxy-D-manno-2-octulosonic acid) is a characteristic monosaccharide component of capsular polysaccharides of Gram-negative bacteria and meningococcal lipooligosaccharide (LOS), and can also be present in the polysaccharide components of Nelumbo nucifera. KDO together with lipid A constitutes the LOS inner core and is an essential molecule for CD14/TLR4-mediated proinflammatory signaling. KDO can be used in research related to meningococcal disease and inflammation.
