Abstract excerpt

The pili of Neisseria meningitidis are a key virulence factor, being major adhesins of this capsulate organism that contribute to specificity for the human host. Recently it has been reported that meningococcal pili are post-translationally modified by the addition of an O-linked trisaccharide, Gal (beta1-4) Gal (alpha1-3) 2,4-diacetimido-2,4,6-trideoxyhexose. Using a set of random genomic sequences from N....
