Preferred Label : o antigens;
MeSH definition : The lipopolysaccharide-protein somatic antigens, usually from gram-negative bacteria,
important in the serological classification of enteric bacilli. The O-specific chains
determine the specificity of the O antigens of a given serotype. O antigens are the
immunodominant part of the lipopolysaccharide molecule in the intact bacterial cell.
