Characterization of the campylobacter jejuni heptosyltransferase ii gene, waaf, provides genetic evidence that extracellular polysaccharide is lipid a core independent
(American Society for Microbiology, 2002-04-15)Campylobacter jejuni produces both lipooligosaccharide (LOS) and a higher-molecular-weight polysaccharide that is believed to form a capsule. The role of these surface polysaccharides in C jejuni-mediated enteric disease ... -
Development of an immunoassay for rapid detection of ganglioside gm1 mimicry in campylobacter jejuni strains
(American Society for Microbiology, 2001-04-01)Mimicry of peripheral nerve gangliosides by Campylobacter jejuni lipopolysaccharides (LPSs) has been proposed to induce cross-reacting antiganglioside antibodies in Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS). Because current methods ... -
Ganglioside gm1 mimicry incampylobacterstrains from sporadic infections in the united states
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 1999-05-01)To determine whether GM1-like epitopes in Campylobacter species are specific to O serotypes associated with Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS) or whether they are frequent among random Campylobacter isolates causing enteritis, ... -
The structure of the lipid anchor ofcampylobacter jejunipolysaccharide
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 2006-04-01)Campylobacter jejuni is a leading cause of gastroenteritis in humans. Campylobacter jejuni produces extracellular polysaccharides that have been characterized structurally and shown to be independent of lipopolysaccharides. ...
