The sugar coat of “Black Death” betrays it. The plague can be detected by monoclonal anti‐carbohydrate antibodies. In a new technique, a plague‐specific oligosaccharide antigen (see structure) is synthesized. With the help of lipopolysaccharide (LPS)‐specific monoclonal antibodies (mAbs), the presence of the plague pathogen Yersinia pestis can then be detected in serum from patients by using a glycan
