Bacterial Polysaccharides, Endotoxins, and Immunomodulation
1992These studies show that at least some--though certainly not all--of the adjuvant effects of LPS and its derivatives can be attributed to its ability to eliminate the inhibitory effects of Ts which are activated during the course of a normal immune response.

Components of Bacterial Polysaccharides
1990Publisher Summary This chapter explains all the known components of bacterial polysaccharides, except the amino acids in peptidoglycans that had been reported in the literature before 1989. Five pentoses—namely, D -ribose, D - and L -arabinose, and D - and L -xylose, have been found in the hydrolyzates of bacterial polysaccharides. Six of the 18

Immunology of bacterial polysaccharide antigens
Carbohydrate Research, 2003Carbohydrates in the form of capsular polysaccharides and/or lipopolysaccharides are the major components on the surface of bacteria. These molecules are important virulence factors in many bacteria isolated from infected persons. Immunity against these components confers protection against the disease.

Adsorption of Bacterial Polysaccharides to Erythrocytes
Nature, 1948WE recently reported that saline extracts of smooth strains of Haemophilus influenzae (Type b) contain a substance adsorbable to erythrocytes1. Cells treated with such extracts are agglutinated by type-specific antisera. A sample of the type-specific polysaccharide, prepared by the method of Dingle and Fothergill2, absorbed from immune sera their power

Bacterial Polysaccharide Vaccines
2011Capsulated bacteria, Gram-positive or Gram-negative, cause a variety of infections in man. Prominent among them are streptococci of Lancefield’s groups A, B, and C, staphylococci, meningococci, Haemophilus influenzae type b, klebsiellas, Escherichia coli, and Salmonella typhi, to name but some.

Bacterial Polysaccharides: An Overview
2014Bacterial cell wall and membrane are associated with a variety of glycoconjugates and polysaccharides which aids in structural formation as well as performing various functions in the bacterial cell. In gram-negative bacteria, peptidoglycan is majorly present in the periplasmic space and it provides mechanical strength as well as shape to the cell.

Bacterial capsular polysaccharides and exopolysaccharides
2010Bacteria often produce an external layer of polysaccharides, characterized by a definite primary structure, which in turn is responsible for sometimes remarkable physicochemical properties. Although the number of monosaccharides which constitute the polymers is rather low, the great number of different polysaccharides defined up to now shows the ...

Bacterial Capsular Polysaccharide and Sugar Transferases
2004Capsular polysaccharides (CPs) of several pathogenic bacteria are thought to be good materials for the development of new therapeutic reagents. These polysaccharides can be used as vaccines against infection of pathogenic bacteria and are also useful as inhibitors for disease caused by aberrant and abnormal cell-cell interaction, such as cancer ...

Capillary Electrophoresis of Bacterial (Lipo)Polysaccharides
2010Lipopolysaccharides (LPSs) are major components of the outer membrane of gram-negative bacteria, and, along with some acidic polysaccharides, are important macromolecules belonging to bacteria. The recent emergence of modern analytical tools for their study has produced a virtual explosion in the field of glycomics.
