  2. 1. Carbohydrate dependent adhesion of leukocytes and the role of fucosyltransferase VII

    Author : Per Bengtson; Carl G. Galunberg; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : Galectins, E-and P-selectins are carbohydrate-binding proteins that are up regulated at inflammatory lesions. Selectins expressed ou the activated endothelium mediate transient binding to leukocyte ligands that require sequential action of α 2,3-sialyltransferases and a 1,3-fucosyltransferases. READ MORE

  4. 2. Free oligosaccharides and glycosylation of bile salt-stimulated lipase in human milk

    Author : Eva Landberg; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : Bile salt-stimulated lipase (BSSL) is a glycosylated protein present in milk at a concentration of 100-200 mg/L. It is an enzyme important for fat digestion in the newborn infant. The protein backbone contains one possible site for N-glyeosylation and several sites for 0-glyeosylation. READ MORE

  5. 3. Herpesvirus-induced expression of sLe(x) and related O-linked glycans in the infected cell

    Author : Kristina Nyström; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; HSV-1; CMV; VZV; O-linked glycans; Lewis antigens; ICP0;

    Abstract : Lewis antigens constitute a family of fucosylated carbohydrate antigens (glycotopes), involved in leukocyte homing and related immunological phenomena. These glycotopes are only expressed restrictedly in normal cells, but are induced at appropriate occasions. It is well established that many tumors ?hijack? Lewis glycotopes for e.g. READ MORE

  6. 4. Mechanisms of genetic adaptation in Helicobacter pylori

    Author : Anna Skoglund; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Helicobacter pylori is one of the most common bacteria worldwide, estimated to infect half of the human population. The infection is usually established in childhood and persists for a lifetime, unless treated. Most individuals never experience symptoms from H. READ MORE

  7. 5. Analytical approaches to the study of mucin glycosylation

    Author : Kristina A Thomsson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : mucins; O-linked glycosylation; mass spectrometry; cystic fibrosis; salivary mucins; sulfated oligosaccharides.;

    Abstract : Mucins constitute the major protein component of the mucus layer, which covers the epithelial surfaces of the respiratory, the gastrointestinal and the genitourinary tracts. Mucins carry O-linked oligosaccharides which contribute to the molecule by 50-80 weight percent, and these can be highly diverse, with 50-150 different oligosaccharides found on a purified mucin population.
