Abstract:
ABSTRACT Galactose α1-3 galactose (Gal) trisaccharides are present on the surface of wild-type pig cells, as well as on viruses particles produced from such cells. The recognition of Gal sugars by natural anti-Gal antibodies (NAb) in human and Old World primate serum can cause the lysis of the particles via complement-dependent mechanisms and has therefore been proposed as an important antiviral mechanism. Recently, pigs have been generated that possess disrupted galactosyl-transferase (GGTA1) genes. The cells of these pigs do not express Gal sugars on their surface, i.e., are Gal null. Concer

Summary Virulence factors were studied in 82 strains of Escherichia coli isolated from the urine of dogs with urinary tract infections. The most frequently expressed O antigens were 2, 4, 6, 25, and 22/83. Most strains were K nontypeable. Mannose-sensitive hemagglutination (msh) with canine erythrocytes was observed in 71 strains and mannose-resistant hemagglutination (mrh) was observed in 32 strains. Strains that caused msh of erythrocytes from dogs also caused msh of erythrocytes from guinea pigs. Most strains that caused mrh of human A1p1 erythrocytes also reacted with erythrocytes of dogs.

Abstract:
ABSTRACTMarine red macroalgae have emerged to be renewable biomass for the production of chemicals and biofuels, because carbohydrates that form the major component of red macroalgae can be hydrolyzed into fermentable sugars. The main carbohydrate in red algae is agarose, and it is composed ofd-galactose and 3,6-anhydro-l-galactose (AHG), which are alternately bonded by β1-4 and α1-3 linkages. In this study, a novel β-galactosidase that can act on agarooligosaccharides (AOSs) to release galactose was discovered in a marine bacterium (Vibriosp. strain EJY3); the enzyme is annotated asVibriosp.

Abstract:
Abstract During biosynthesis, Factor VIII (FVIII) undergoes complex post-translational modification including significant glycosylation. Consequently each FVIII molecule can contains 25 N- and 6 O-linked glycans. These carbohydrate structures are of physiological significance. For example, FVIII glycan expression modulates intracellular trafficking and also regulates FVIII clearance by dendritic cells. Nevertheless, the molecular mechanisms through which glycan structures influence FVIII biology remains poorly defined. Interestingly, carbohydrate-binding galectins (Gal) -1 and -3 have recently

Abstract:
The biosynthesis of rat alpha 1-inhibitor3, a negative acute-phase reactant specifically found in rodents, was studied in vitro in a cell-free translation system from rabbit reticulocytes, in rat hepatocyte primary cultures and in vivo by immunocytochemistry using normal and turpentine-injected rats. By sucrose-gradient centrifugation and subsequent translation of the fractionated RNA in vitro it was found that the mRNA coding for alpha 1-inhibitor3 exhibited a size of about 28S. For the alpha 1-inhibitor3 translated in vitro an apparent Mr of 155,000 was determined. A continuous decrease in t

Abstract:
ABSTRACT 2G12 is a broadly neutralizing human monoclonal antibody against human immunodeficiency virus type-1 (HIV-1) that has previously been shown to bind to a carbohydrate-dependent epitope on gp120. Here, site-directed mutagenesis and carbohydrate analysis were used to define further the 2G12 epitope. Extensive alanine scanning mutagenesis showed that elimination of the N-linked carbohydrate attachment sequences associated with residues N295, N332, N339, N386, and N392 by N→A substitution produced significant decreases in 2G12 binding affinity to gp120JR-CSF. Further mutagenesis suggested

Abstract:
Although renal transplantation (RT) has improved quality of life and survival, organ shortage has led to expansion of waiting list and premature deaths. Over 100000 patients in the United States, similar number worldwide and over 7000 patients in the United Kingdom are waiting for RT. This has encouraged scientists to explore animals, xenotransplantation, as an alternative source of unlimited organ supply over the past three decades to overcome the chronic shortage of deceased and living human donors [1]. Successful xenotransplantation would eliminate the effects of brain death, ischaemia-repe

Abstract Background An epitope, Galα1-3Galβ1-4GlcNAc-R, termed α-gal, is present in glycoconjugates of New World monkeys (platyrrhines) and other mammals but not in hominoids and Old World monkeys (catarrhines). The difference is due to the inactivation of α1-3 galactosyl transferase (α1-3 GT) genes in catarrhines. Natural antibodies to α-gal are therefore developed in catarrhines but not platyrrhines and other mammals. Hypersensitivity reactions are commonly elicited by mosquito and tick vector bites. IgE antibodies against α-gal cause food allergy to red meat in persons who have been exposed

Abstract:
It is widely acknowledged that sialyl Lewis X (sLeX), the composition and linkage of which are N-acetylneuraminic acid (Neu5Ac) α2-3 galactose (Gal) β1-4 [fucose (Fuc) α1-3] N-acetylglucosamine, is usually attached to the cell surface. It presents as a terminal structure on either glycoproteins or glycolipids and has been demonstrated to be related to various biological processes, such as fertilization and selectin binding. Due to the vital role of sLeX, its synthesis as well as its determination approaches have attracted considerable attention from many researchers. In this review, the focus

Here, we investigated the association between urinary glycosylation profile measured by 45 lectins at baseline and renal prognosis in 142 patients with IgAN. The primary outcome was estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) decline (> 4 mL/min/1.73 m2/year), or eGFR ≥ 30% decline from baseline, or initiation of renal replacement therapies within 3 years. During follow-up (3.4 years, median), 26 patients reached the renal outcome (Group P), while 116 patients were with good renal outco

Abstract:
Xenocell therapy from neonate or adult pig pancreatic islets is one of the most promising alternatives to allograft in type 1 diabetes for addressing organ shortage. In humans, however, natural and elicited antibodies specific for pig xenoantigens, α-(1,3)-galactose (GAL) and N-glycolylneuraminic acid (Neu5Gc), are likely to significantly contribute to xenoislet rejection. We obtained double-knockout (DKO) pigs lacking GAL and Neu5Gc. Because Neu5Gc−/− mice exhibit glycemic dysregulations and pancreatic β-cell dysfunctions, we evaluated islet function and glucose metabolism regulation in DKO p
