Staphylococcus aureus is a major opportunistic human pathogen that frequently causes
disease in community and hospital settings. Nasal colonization is an important risk factor for …

The relevance of protein-glycan interactions in immunity has long been underestimated. Yet,
the immune system possesses numerous classes of glycan-binding proteins, so-called …

The bacterial glycocalyx is a quintessential drug target comprised of structurally distinct
glycans. Bacterial glycans bear unusual monosaccharide building blocks whose proper …

The majority of mammalian proteins are glycosylated, with the glycans serving to modulate a
wide range of biological activities. Variations in protein glycosylation can have dramatic …

C-type lectins (CTLs), a superfamily of glycan-binding receptors, play a pivotal role in the
host defense against pathogens and the maintenance of immune homeostasis of higher …

Many analytical challenges in biomedicine arise from the generally high heterogeneity and
complexity of glycan‐and glycoconjugate‐containing samples, which are often only …

Glycans linked to proteins and lipids and also occurring in free forms have many functions,
and these are partly elicited through specific interactions with glycan-binding proteins …

Lipopolysaccharides are a hallmark of gram-negative bacteria, and their presence at the cell
surface is key for bacterial integrity. As surface-exposed components, they are recognized …

Detection of microbial pathogens is a primary function of many mammalian immune
proteins. This is accomplished through the recognition of diverse microbial-produced …

Ladderlectin is a member of C-type lectins (CTLs) in teleost fish and involved in innate
immune defense. In this study, ayu (Plecoglossus altivelis) ladderlecin-like (PaLL-like) …
