bacterial lipopolysaccharides pretreatment protects
abstract the mutagenic and immunosuppressory effects of cyclophosphamide (cyp) are still the primary limitation to wider application for treating a variety of human malignancies. on the one hand, cyp treatment predisposes transplant recipients and cancer patients to risk of bacterial, fungal, and viral infections, in the other word the, lipopolysaccharide (lps), an endotoxin found in cell wal...
متن کاملLIPID A and BACTERIAL LIPOPOLYSACCHARIDES
1. Structure and Occurrence The envelope of Gram-negative bacteria, including those of human pathogens such as Escherichia coli and Salmonella enterica, is composed of two distinct lipid membranes: an inner membrane, consisting of glycerophospholipids, and a highly distinctive outer membrane. The latter is an asymmetric bilayer, the outer leaflet of which in most species consists predominantly ...
متن کاملAntibodies against bacterial lipopolysaccharides in Japanese patients with ankylosing spondylitis.
We investigated IgG, IgA and IgM class specific antibodies to five bacterial (Klebsiella pneumoniae, Escherichia coli, Salmonella enteritidis, Salmonella typhimurium and Shigella flexneri) lipopolysaccharides (LPS) by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay in 144 Japanese patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS). AS patients had significantly elevated IgA antibodies to K. pneumoniae LPS, Salmonella...
متن کاملHuman Nod1 confers responsiveness to bacterial lipopolysaccharides.
The immune response to microbial pathogens is initiated by recognition of specific pathogen components by host cells both at the cell surface and in the cytosol. While the response triggered by pathogen products at the surface of immune cells is well characterized, that initiated in the cytosol is poorly understood. Nod1 is a member of a growing family of intracellular proteins with structural ...
متن کاملSialylation of Porphyromonas gingivalis lipopolysaccharides and its effect on bacterial- host interactions
Porphyromonas gingivalis produces different lipopolysaccharide isoforms with significant structural variations of their lipid A and O-antigen moieties that can affect its pro-inflammatory and bone resorbing potential. We show here, for the first time, that P.gingivalis LPS isolated from W83 strain is highly sialylated and possesses significantly reduced inflammatory potential compared to less s...
