Lewis Epitopes on Outer Membrane Vesicles of Relevance to Helicobacter pylori Pathogenesis
10 Mar 2005
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Helicobacter pylori extrudes protein- and lipopolysaccharide-enriched outer membrane vesicles from its cell surface which have been postulated to act to deliver virulence factors to the host. Lewis antigen expression by lipopolysaccharide of H. pylori cells has been implicated in a number of pathogenic roles. The aim of this study was to further characterize the expression of lipopolysaccharide on the...
