Lewis X Biosynthesis in Helicobacter pylori

1 Aug 1997

Abstract excerpt

The lipopolysaccharide of certain strains of Helicobacter pylori was recently shown to contain the Lewis X (Lex) trisaccharide (Galbeta-1, 4-(Fucalpha(1,3))-GlcNAc). Lex is an oncofetal antigen which appears on human gastric epithelium, and its mimicry by carbohydrate structures on the surface of H. pylori may play an important part in the interaction of this pathogen with its host. Potential roles for bacterial...
