Back ground: Candida albicans is a member of the normal human microflora. C. albicans cell wall is composed of several protein and carbohydrate components which have been shown to play a crucial role in C. albicans interaction with the host immune system. Major components of C. albican cell wall are carbohydrates such as mannans, β glucans and chitins, and proteins that partially modulate the h...

the immounological responses to s. aureus cell wall antigens, namely crude or whole cell, teichoic acid (ta) peptidoglycan prepared in conventional way (cpg), cell wall (cw), lipoteichoic acid (lta) were investigated by number of immunological methods e.g. ria, elisa, immunodiffusion and western blotting techniques.also a method for preparation of peptidoglycan (mpg) was modified and used as va...

 Background: Candida species are among the most common causes of opportunistic fungal diseases. Among Candida species, Candida albicans is responsible for most infections. Having many strains, C. albicans is very polymorph. C. dubliniensis is very similar to albicans species both morphologically and physiologically. For an infection to occur, cell wall proteins play an important role as they en...

in this study cell wall carbohydrates with kit method and  excreta viscosity  of 13 elite  triticale varieties  was measured. the results showed, the average and range changes values of anti-nutritional compounds in the thirteen varieties of triticale included; total ß-glucan, soluble ß-glucan, insoluble ß-glucan, total arabinoxylane, soluble fiber, insoluble fiber and total soluble and insolub...
