Diarrhea caused by enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) is one of the leading causes of mortality in children under five years of age and is a great burden on developing countries. The major virulence factor of the bacterium is the heat-labile
Neisseria meningitidis lipopolysaccharide (LPS) has been identified as a major determinant of dendritic cell (DC) function. Here we report that one of a series of meningococcal mutants with defined truncations in the lacto-N-neotetraose outer core of the LPS exhibited unique
Lacto-n-neotatraose (LNnT) oligosaccharide shows properties such as anti-inflammatory, type 2 immune response induction, induced angiogenesis, and anti-bacterial effects. Here, we hypothesized that the application of LnNT in the skin full-thickness wound can accelerate the healing process through its anti-inflammatory effect
Glycosphingolipids are ubiquitous cell surface molecules undertaking fundamental cellular processes. Lacto-N-tetraose (LNT) and lacto-N-neotetraose (LNnT) are the representative core structures for lacto- and neolacto-series glycosphingolipids. These glycolipids are the carriers to the blood group antigen and human natural killer antigens
The lacto-N-neotetraose tetrasaccharide was synthesized on a new dendrimeric support, based on polyethylene glycol. Starting from 1-thio-beta-D-lactose, the trisaccharide (2-acetamido-2-deoxy-beta-D-glucopyranosyl)-(1-->3)-O-beta-D-galactopyranosyl-(1-->4)-1-thio-beta-D-glucopyranose was obtained using Neisseria meningitidis beta-(1-->3)-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase according to a soluble synthesis approach, bound on the support and galactosylated using the
O-Linked glycoproteins are usually large proteins with a molecular mass of >200 kDa. Glycosylation generally occurs in high-density clusters and may represent as much as 50-80% of the overall mass.
