Abstract excerpt
Streptococcus pneumoniae has been shown to utilize the platelet activating factor receptor for binding and invasion of host cells (Cundell, D. R., Gerard, N. P., Gerard, C., Idanpaan-Heikkila, I., and Tuomanen, E. I. (1995) Nature, in press). Because bacterial binding is in part carbohydrate dependent, and the human platelet-activating factor (PAF) receptor bears a single N-linked glycosylation sequence in the...
