Structure analysis of biologically important prokaryotic glycopolymers [PDF]
, 2013 Of the many post-translational modifications organisms can undertake, glycosylation is the most prevalent and the most diverse. The research in this thesis focuses on the structural characterisation of glycosylation in two classes of glycopolymer (

An overview about erythrocyte membrane [PDF]
, 2010 © 2010 – IOS Press and the authors. All rights reservedIn the sixties and seventies, erythrocytes or red blood cells (RBCs) were extensively studied. Much has been learnt particularly concerning their metabolism and gas transporter function. In the past

Presentation of Lipid Antigens by CD1 Glycoproteins [PDF]
Current Pharmaceutical Design, 2009 CD1 molecules are a family of non-polymorphic, class I antigen-presenting glycoproteins, which bind and present amphiphilic lipid antigens for recognition to T cells. Two groups of CD1 molecules are involved in presentation of self and foreign lipid antigens: group 1 (CD1a, CD1b and CD1c) and group 2 (CD1d). Crystal structures of CD1a, CD1b and CD1d in

Immune evasion of the CD1d/NKT cell axis [PDF]
, 2018 Many reviews on the CD1d/NKT cell axis focus on the ability of CD1d-restricted NKT cells to serve as effector cells in a variety of disorders, be they infectious diseases, cancer or autoimmunity.

Harnessing the Power of Invariant Natural Killer T Cells in Cancer Immunotherapy
Frontiers in Immunology, 2017 Invariant natural killer T (iNKT) cells are a distinct subset of innate-like lymphocytes bearing an invariant T-cell receptor, through which they recognize lipid antigens presented by monomorphic CD1d molecules. Upon activation, iNKT cells are capable of

Anti-ganglioside antibodies in patients with Zika virus infection-associated Guillain-Barré Syndrome in Brazil. [PDF]
, 2019 Zika virus infection is associated with the development of Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS), a neurological autoimmune disorder caused by immune recognition of gangliosides and other components at nerve membranes.

Diversification of CD1 molecules shapes lipid antigen selectivity [PDF]
Molecular Biology and Evolution, 2020 AbstractMolecular studies of host-pathogen evolution have largely focused on the consequences of variation at protein-protein interaction surfaces. The potential for other microbe-associated macromolecules to promote arms race dynamics with host factors remains unclear.
