Glycan Microarrays as Chemical Tools for Identifying Glycan Recognition by Immune Proteins

open access: yesFrontiers in Chemistry, 2019
Glycans and glycan binding proteins (GBPs or lectins) are essential components in almost every aspect of immunology. Investigations of the interactions between glycans and GBPs have greatly advanced our understanding of the molecular basis of these ...

Targeting cell surface glycans with lectin-coated fluorescent nanodiamonds

open access: yes, 2022
Glycosylation is arguably the most important functional post-translational modification in brain cells and abnormal cell surface glycan expression has been associated with neurological diseases and brain cancers. In this study we developed a novel method

Analysis of Schistosoma mansoni Extracellular Vesicles Surface Glycans Reveals Potential Immune Evasion Mechanism and New Insights on Their Origins of Biogenesis

open access: yesPathogens, 2021
Parasitic helminths are master manipulators of host immunity. Their strategy is complex and involves the release of excreted/secreted products, including extracellular vesicles (EVs). The protein and miRNA contents of EVs have been characterised for many

Three semi-synthetic approaches to a set of curdlan sulfate polysaccharides with different sulfation patterns

open access: yesFrontiers in Molecular Biosciences
IntroductionCurdlan is a linear homopolysaccharide composed of β-1→3-linked glucose units. It is extracted from some bacteria as an exopolysaccharide and employed in the food industry due to its remarkable rheological and thermal behaviors.

Myeloid C-Type Lectin Receptors in Viral Recognition and Antiviral Immunity

open access: yesViruses, 2017
Recognition of viral glycans by pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) in innate immunity contributes to antiviral immune responses. C-type lectin receptors (CLRs) are PRRs capable of sensing glycans present in viral pathogens to activate antiviral immune ...
