Systematic Chemoenzymatic Synthesis of O-Sulfated Sialyl Lewis x Antigens. [PDF]

, 2015
O-Sulfated sialyl Lewis x antigens play important roles in nature. However, due to their structural complexity, they are not readily accessible by either chemical or enzymatic synthetic processes.

Lipopolysaccharide-specific acyloxyacyl hydrolase [PDF]

, 1991
" An acyloxyacyl hydrolase from the human promyelocyte cell line HL-60 has been found to specifically hydrolyze fatty acids from their ester linkages to hydroxy groups of 3-hydroxyfatty acids, the latter being being bound in turn to lipopolysaccharide ...

Bacterial outer membrane vesicles engineered with lipidated antigens as a platform for Staphylococcus aureus vaccine

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2019
Significance Thanks to their potent built-in adjuvanticity, bacterial outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) represent an attractive vaccine platform. However, their full-blown exploitation relies on the availability of efficient engineering strategies.

House dust mites as potential carriers for IgE sensitization to bacterial antigens

Allergy. European Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, 2017
IgE reactivity to antigens from Gram‐positive and Gram‐negative bacteria is common in patients suffering from respiratory and skin manifestations of allergy, but the routes and mechanisms of sensitization are not fully understood.
