An enzymatic ruler modulates Lewis antigen glycosylation of <i>Helicobacter pylori</i> LPS during persistent infection
13 Feb 2006
Abstract excerpt
Helicobacter pylori persistently colonizes about half the human population and contributes to the development of peptic ulcer disease and gastric cancer. This organism has evolved means to structurally alter its surface characteristics to evade innate and adaptive immune responses. H. pylori produces LPS O-antigen units that can be posttranslationally fucosylated to generate Lewis antigens, structures also found...
