Molecular mimicry of host structures by bacterial lipopolysaccharides and its contribution to disease
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 1996-12-01)The core oligosaccharides of low-molecular-weight lipopolysaccharide (LPS), also termed lipooligosaccharide (LOS), of pathogenic Neisseria spp. mimic the carbohydrate moieties of glycosphingolipids present on human cells. ... -
Sialylation of lipooligosaccharide cores affects immunogenicity and serum resistance of campylobacter jejuni
(American Society for Microbiology, 2000-12-01)Three genes involved in biosynthesis of the lipooligosaccharide (LOS) core of Campylobacter jejuni MSC57360, the type strain of the HS:1 seretype, whose structure mimics GM(2) ganglioside, have been cloned and characterized. ...
