The innate immune response to lipopolysaccharide is essential for host defense against
Gram-negative bacteria. In response to bacterial infection, the TLR4/MD-2 complex that is …

The Gram-negative bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) is a major component of the outer
membrane that plays a key role in host–pathogen interactions with the innate immune …

As more original molecular protocols and subsequent modifications are described in the
literature, it has become difficult for those not directly involved in the development of these …

Cationic antimicrobial peptides and polymyxins are a group of naturally occurring antibiotics
that can also possess immunomodulatory activities. They are considered a new source of …

One common mechanism of resistance against antimicrobial peptides in Gram‐negative
bacteria is the addition of 4‐amino‐4‐deoxy‐l‐arabinose (l‐Ara4N) to the …

Among the large variety of bioactive C60 derivatives, fullerene derivatives substituted with
sugar residues, that is, glycofullerenes, are of particular interest. The sugar residues are not …

The focus of this review is the application of mass spectrometry to the structural
characterization of bacterial lipopolysaccharides (LPSs), also referred to as “endotoxins,” …

Innate immune cells, epithelial cells, and many other cell types are capable of detecting
infection or tissue injury, thus mounting regulated immune response. Inflammasomes are …

Abstract l, d‐Heptosides (l‐glycero‐d‐manno‐heptopyranoses) are found in important
bacterial glycolipids such as lipopolysaccharide (LPS), the biosynthesis of which is targeted …

Long-term respiratory infections with Burkholderia cepacia complex (Bcc) bacteria in cystic
fibrosis (CF) patients generally lead to a more rapid decline in lung function and, in some …
