Sialylation of campylobacter jejuni lipo-oligosaccharides: impact on phagocytosis and cytokine production in mice [PDF]
<p>Background: Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) is a post-infectious polyradiculoneuropathy, frequently associated with antecedent Campylobacter jejuni (C. jejuni) infection. The presence of sialic acid on C.

Immunosuppressive Effect of Bacterial Lipopolysaccharide on Antibody Response [PDF]
ABSTRACTInjection of endotoxins (bacterial lipopolysaccharide: LPS) several days prior to immunization causes the suppression of antibody response. The suppressive effects of several kinds of LPS preparations on the plaque‐forming cell (PFC) antibody response in the spleen of mice were examined after immunization with sheep red blood cells (SRBC ...

Gut microbiome and aging—A dynamic interplay of microbes, metabolites, and the immune system
Age‐dependent shifts in microbial communities engender shifts in microbial metabolite profiles. These in turn drive shifts in barrier surface permeability of the gut and brain and induce immune activation. When paired with preexisting age‐related chronic inflammation this increases the risk of neuroinflammation and neurodegenerative diseases.

Antibodies targeting the O-specific polysaccharide (OSP) of Vibrio cholerae O1 are crucial determinants of protection against cholera. These antibodies agglutinate bacteria and, even in sub-agglutinating conditions, inhibit V. cholerae motility.
