Polysaccharide Vaccines: A Perspective on Non-Typhoidal Salmonella
Polysaccharides, 2021 Polysaccharides are often the most abundant antigens found on the extracellular surfaces of bacterial cells. These polysaccharides play key roles in interactions with the outside world, and for many bacterial pathogens, they represent what is presented ...

Protein-polysaccharide interactions and aggregates in food formulations [PDF]
Current Opinion in Colloid & Interface Science, Volume 48, 2020,
Pages 18-27, 2022 The protein-polysaccharide combinations that lead to electrostatic complex and coacervates formation are the object of extensive research using both layer-by-layer and mixed emulsion approaches. The protein-polysaccharide conjugates demonstrated interesting physico-chemical properties as stabilizers and emulsifiers as well as texture modifiers in food ...

Co-evolution of Vaccination Behavior and Perceived Vaccination Risk can lead to a Stag-Hunt like Game [PDF]
, 2022 Voluntary vaccination is effective to prevent infectious diseases from spreading. Both vaccination behavior and cognition of the vaccination risk play important roles in individual vaccination decision making. However, it is not clear how the co-evolution of the two shapes the population-wide vaccination behavior.

Molecular characterization of wild Pleurotus ostreatus (MW457626) and evaluation of $β$-glucans polysaccharide activities [PDF]
Vol 8, Issue 1, 2022, pp 52-62, 2023 Pleurotus ostreatus is a common cultivated edible mushroom worldwide. The fruiting bodies of P. ostreatus is a rich source of a $\beta$-glucans polysaccharide. The current study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of $\beta$-glucans as a natural polysaccharide produced by P. ostreatus as an antioxidant, antimicrobial, and anticancer.

Accurate Measures of Vaccination and Concerns of Vaccine Holdouts from Web Search Logs [PDF]
, 2023 To design effective vaccine policies, policymakers need detailed data about who has been vaccinated, who is holding out, and why. However, existing data in the US are insufficient: reported vaccination rates are often delayed or missing, and surveys of vaccine hesitancy are limited by high-level questions and self-report biases. Here, we show how large-

Complementary Role of CD4+ T Cells in Response to Pneumococcal Polysaccharide Vaccines in Humans
Vaccines, 2019 Bacterial pathogens expressing capsular polysaccharides are common causes of mucosal infections (pneumonia, intestinal), as well as often fatal, invasive infections (meningitis, bloodstream infections) in children and adults worldwide.

Role of O-Acetylation in the Immunogenicity of Bacterial Polysaccharide Vaccines
Molecules, 2018 The incidence of infectious diseases caused by several bacterial pathogens such as Haemophilus influenzae type b, Streptococcus pneumoniae, and Neisseria meningitidis, has been dramatically reduced over the last 25 years through the use of glycoconjugate

Adsorption of a fabric conditioner on cellulose nanocrystals: Synergistic effects of surfactant vesicles and polysaccharides on softness properties [PDF]
Cellulose 28 (4) 2551-2566 (2021), 2020 Concentrated fabric conditioners are water-based formulations containing 10 wt. % of cationic surfactants that are deposited on textile fibers during the rinse cycle in a washing machine to make them smoother and softer to touch. In topical formulations, the concentration of cationic surfactants is reduced by half, this reduction being compensated by ...
