Immunological Outcomes of Antibody Binding to Glycans Shared between Microorganisms and Mammals
18 Nov 2016
Abstract excerpt
Glycans constitute basic cellular components of living organisms across biological kingdoms, and glycan-binding Abs participate in many cellular interactions during immune defense against pathogenic organisms. Glycan epitopes are expressed as carbohydrate-only entities or as oligomers or polymers on proteins and lipids. Such epitopes on glycoproteins may be formed by posttranslational modifications or neoepitopes...
