Studies on in vitro human T cell reactivity to antigens of mycobacterium tuberculosis [PDF]

, 2010
Studies on Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) antigens are important to improve immunodiagnostics and vaccine efficacy. A novel genome based strategy for antigen discovery is to relate what is highly expressed by bacilli in vivo or in vitro, to what is ...

Immunoblot analysis of the seroreactivity to recombinant Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato antigens, including VlsE, in the long-term course of treated patients with Erythema migrans [PDF]

, 2008
Objective: We evaluated whether immunoblotting is capable of substantiating the posttreatment clinical assessment of patients with erythema migrans ( EM), the hallmark of early Lyme borreliosis.

Characterization of the O antigen gene cluster and structural analysis of the O antigen of Francisella tularensis subsp. tularensis [PDF]

Journal of Medical Microbiology, 2003
A gene cluster encoding enzymes involved in LPS O antigen biosynthesis was identified from the partial genome sequence of Francisella tularensis subsp. tularensis Schu S4. All of the genes within the cluster were assigned putative functions based on sequence similarity with genes from O antigen biosynthetic clusters from other bacteria.

Exploring the immunology of parasitism--from surface antigens to the hygiene hypothesis [PDF]

, 2009
Helminth immunology is a field which has changed beyond recognition in the past 30 years, transformed not only by new technologies from cDNA cloning to flow cytometry, but also conceptually as our definition of host immune pathways has matured.

Mucin-Type O-Glycosylation in Gastric Carcinogenesis

Biomolecules, 2016
Mucin-type O-glycosylation plays a crucial role in several physiological and pathological processes of the gastric tissue. Modifications in enzymes responsible for key glycosylation steps and the consequent abnormal biosynthesis and expression of their ...

Toward a Multivalent Synthetic Oligosaccharide-Based Conjugate Vaccine against Shigella: State-of-the-Art for a Monovalent Prototype and Challenges

Vaccines, 2022
This review focuses on the molecular glycovaccine concept, a promising option to develop a Shigella glycoconjugate vaccine. Subsequent to original developments involving, as main vaccine component, the detoxified Shigella lipopolysaccharide randomly ...

Structural Studies of Shigella flexneri O-Antigens [PDF]

European Journal of Biochemistry, 1978
The structures of the O-antigens of all known serotypes and subserotypes of Shigella flexneri have been reinvestigated. The results support the assumption that these antigens are composed of a basic tetrasaccharide repeating unit (1), to which alpha-D-glucopyranosyl and/or O-acetyl groups are attached at different positions. Leads to 3)-beta-D-GlcNAcp-(

Plasmodium falciparum antigens on the surface of the gametocyte-infected erythrocyte. [PDF]

, 2008
BACKGROUND: The asexual blood stages of the human malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum produce highly immunogenic polymorphic antigens that are expressed on the surface of the host cell.

A Sweet Warning: Mucin-Type O-Glycans in Cancer

Cells, 2022
Glycosylation is a common post-translational modification process of proteins. Mucin-type O-glycosylation is an O-glycosylation that starts from protein serine/threonine residues.

Venetoclax‐Based Therapy as a Bridge to Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation in Relapsed or Refractory Pediatric Acute Leukemia

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Relapsed and/or refractory (R/R) pediatric acute leukemia carries a dismal prognosis, largely driven by chemoresistance to conventional salvage therapy. The BH3‐mimetic venetoclax, combined with chemotherapy or hypomethylating agents, has demonstrated efficacy in small clinical trials.
