Urine Test Accuracy of Lipoarabinomannan in Diagnosing Pulmonary Tuberculosis in Adults: Meta-Analysis [PDF]
, 2022 Background: Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mt) requires non-sputum-based screening that can identify it with high sensitivity and specificity. Lipoarabinomannan (LAM) is a diagnosis of active tuberculosis (TB) in samples such as urine, both by complex ...

Biosynthesis of Mycobacterial Lipoarabinomannan [PDF]
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1997 The mycobacterial lipoglycans, lipomannan (LM) and lipoarabinomannan (LAM), are potent immunomodulators in tuberculosis and leprosy. Little is known of their biosynthesis, other than being based on phosphatidylinositol (PI), and they probably originate in the phosphatidylinositol mannosides (PIMs; PIMans). A novel form of cell-free incubation involving

Mannosylated Lipoarabinomannan Interacts with Phagocytes [PDF]
European Journal of Biochemistry, 1995 Infection by Mycobacterium tuberculosis first involves its adhesion to mononuclear host phagocytes. Various macrophage opsonic and non‐opsonic receptors are known to mediate this adhesion, with some specificity of mannosyl receptors for the more virulent strains. Mannosylated lipoarabinomannan, a major component of cell walls from M.
