Molecular mechanisms of Lewis antigen expression.

Legal medicine (Tokyo, Japan) - 1 Jul 2005

Soejima Mikiko, Koda Yoshiro

Abstract excerpt

Lewis antigens comprise type 1 (Lewis a, Lewis b) and type 2 (Lewis X, Lewis Y) carbohydrates. Lewis X and Lewis Y are regarded as tumor-associated markers, and some of these antigens and their derivatives interact with selectins, mediating cell-to-cell adhesion. In addition, Lewis b on the gastric epithelial surface has been identified as an acceptor for attachment of Helicobacter pylori. In this review, we...
