Brucellose causes contagious abortion in cattle. The cell‐wall lipopolysaccharide O‐antigen of Brucella species is a homopolymer of 4,6‐dideoxy‐4‐formamido‐α‐ D ‐mannose joined by 1,2 and 1,3 linkages to create A‐ and M‐antigenic determinants, respectively. In their Communication on page 7181 ff. , D. R. Bundle and co‐workers describe a glycoconjugate with both antigenic features. This antigen (red) detects A‐specific (green) and M‐specific (turquoise) antibodies from infected cattle.
