Glycans from Fasciola hepatica modulate the host immune response and TLR-Induced maturation of dendritic cells [PDF]
, 2015 Helminths express various carbohydrate-containing glycoconjugates on their surface, and they release glycan-rich excretion/secretion products that can be very important in their life cycles, infection and pathology. Recent evidence suggests that parasite

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.The lipopolysaccharide (LPS) of Segatella copri is a structurally unique, immunomodulatory glycoconjugate. Combining mass spectrometry (MS), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), and cytometry by time‐of‐flight (CyTOF), we uncover a rough‐type LPS with reduced TLR4 agonism and selective monocyte effects, further highlighting the key role of LPS chemistry ...

Anti-Retroviral Lectins Have Modest Effects on Adherence of Trichomonas vaginalis to Epithelial Cells In Vitro and on Recovery of Tritrichomonas foetus in a Mouse Vaginal Model. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Trichomonas vaginalis causes vaginitis and increases the risk of HIV transmission by heterosexual sex, while Tritrichomonas foetus causes premature abortion in cattle. Our goals were to determine the effects, if any, of anti-retroviral lectins, which are
