The atypical lipopolysaccharide ofFrancisella [PDF]
Carbohydrate Research, 2013 Bacterial lipopolysaccharides (LPSs) are ubiquitous molecules that are prominent components of the outer membranes of most gram-negative bacteria. Genetic and structural characterizations of Francisella LPS have revealed substantial differences when compared to more commonly studied LPSs of the Enterobacteriaceae. This review discusses both the general

Innate immunity, assessed by plasma NO measurements, is not suppressed during the incubation fast in eiders [PDF]
, 2006 Immunity is hypothesized to share limited resources with other physiological functions and may mediate life history trade-offs, for example between reproduction and survival.

A colorimetric estimation of lipopolysaccharides
FEBS Letters, 1971 The lipopolysaccharides of Gram-negative bacteria are not confined to cell walls but may accumulate in culture fluids of cells grown under certain conditions [l-3] . Study of this accumulation has been aided by development of a calorimetric estimation for lipopolysaccharides which is specific, sensitive and technically simple in comparison with methods

Biosynthesis and Function of Extracellular Glycans in Cyanobacteria
Life, 2015 The cell surface of cyanobacteria is covered with glycans that confer versatility and adaptability to a multitude of environmental factors. The complex carbohydrates act as barriers against different types of stress and play a role in intra- as well as ...

Microbial risk factors of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases: potential therapeutic options [PDF]
, 2008 Infection and inflammation may have a crucial role in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. This hypothesis is supported by an increasing number of reports on the interaction between chronic infection, inflammation, and atherogenesis.

Haptoglobin buffers lipopolysaccharides to delay activation of NFκB
Frontiers in ImmunologyIt has remained yet unclear which soluble factors regulate the anti-inflammatory macrophage phenotype observed in both homeostasis and tumourigenesis. We show here that haptoglobin, a major serum protein with elusive immunoregulatory properties, binds ...

Potential mechanism of action of J5 vaccine in protection against severe bovine coliform mastitis. [PDF]
, 2002 Coliform mastitis is one of the most difficult diseases to treat in the modern dairy industry. Curative therapy with antibiotics remains only moderately effective and depends on the stage at which the disease is treated, The most successful strategies ...

Systems Biology and Pangenome of Salmonella O-Antigens. [PDF]
, 2019 O-antigens are glycopolymers in lipopolysaccharides expressed on the cell surface of Gram-negative bacteria. Variability in the O-antigen structure constitutes the basis for the establishment of the serotyping schema. We pursued a two-pronged approach to
