Porcine intestinal glycosphingolipids recognized by F6-fimbriated enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli [PDF]
One important virulence factor of enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli is their ability to adhere via fimbrial adhesins to specific receptors located on the intestinal mucosa. Here, the potential glycosphingolipid receptors of enterotoxigenic F6-fimbriated E.

Inhibitory effects of Trypanosoma cruzi sialoglycoproteins on CD4+ T cells are associated with increased susceptibility to infection. [PDF]
BackgroundThe Trypanosoma cruzi infection is associated with severe T cell unresponsiveness to antigens and mitogens characterized by decreased IL-2 synthesis. Trypanosoma cruzi mucin (Tc Muc) has been implicated in this phenomenom.

Calsequestrins in skeletal and cardiac muscle from adult Danio rerio [PDF]
Calsequestrin (Casq) is a high capacity, low affinity Ca2+-binding protein, critical for Ca2+-buffering in cardiac and skeletal muscle sarcoplasmic reticulum. All vertebrates have multiple genes encoding for different Casq isoforms.

Bacterial sialoglycosidases in Virulence and Pathogenesis
Human oral microbiome and dysbiotic infections have been recently evidently identified. One of the major reasons for such dysbiosis is impairment of the immune system.

Sialic acid transporter NanT participates in Tannerella forsythia biofilm formation and survival on epithelial cells [PDF]
Tannerella forsythia is a periodontal pathogen implicated in periodontitis. This gram-negative pathogen depends on exogenous peptidoglycan amino sugar N-acetylmuramic acid (NAM) for growth.

Sialoglycoproteins from the Eggs of Pacific Herring [PDF]
A family of hitherto undescribed sialoglycoproteins has been isolated from the eggs of Pacific herring in a yield about 10 times as much as phosvitin known as a major protein component of the eggs. The sialoglycoproteins are composed of 60–50% of carbohydrate and 40–50% of protein.

Morphological distribution of μ chains and cd15 receptors in colorectal polyp and adenocarcinoma specimens [PDF]
BACKGROUND: We have recently investigated the localisation of immunoglobulin-producing cells (IPCs) in inflamed intestinal tissue samples from patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), and identified two main patterns of B lymphocyte infiltration ...

Sialoglycosylation of RBC in visceral leishmaniasis leads to enhanced oxidative stress, calpain-induced fragmentation of spectrin and hemolysis. [PDF]
Visceral leishmaniasis (VL) caused by the intracellular parasite Leishmania donovani accounts for an estimated 12 million cases of human infection. It is almost always associated with anemia, which severely complicates the disease course.
