Host Synthesized Carbohydrate Antigens on Viral Glycoproteins as “Achilles’ Heel” of Viruses Contributing to Anti-Viral Immune Protection
13 Sept 2020
Abstract excerpt
The glycans on enveloped viruses are synthesized by host-cell machinery. Some of these glycans on zoonotic viruses of mammalian reservoirs are recognized by human natural antibodies that may protect against such viruses. These antibodies are produced mostly against carbohydrate antigens on gastrointestinal bacteria and fortuitously, they bind to carbohydrate antigens synthesized in other mammals, neutralize and...
