Viral infections are initiated by attachment of the virus to host cell surface receptors,
including sialic acid-containing glycans. It is now possible to rapidly identify specific glycan …

Glycosylation is one the most common post-translational modifications (PTM) and
glycoproteins play fundamental roles in a diversity of biological processes. The development …

The chemokine receptor CCR5 plays an important role in leukocyte chemotaxis and
activation, and also acts as a coreceptor for human and simian immunodeficiency viruses …

Glycophorins are complex heavily glycosylated antigens carrying peptidic and glycopeptidic
epitopes. Detailed immunochemical studies showed that GP AlGPB and GPC/GPD …

Thrombopoietin (TPO) is a hematopoietic factor involved in the regulation of
megakaryocytopoiesis. Full length recombinant human TPO (332 residues) has been …

9-O-Acetylation of sialic acids shows cell type-specific and developmentally regulated
expression in various systems. In a given cell type, O-acetylation can also be specific to a …

BACKGROUND: Neonatal alloimmune thrombocyto‐penia (NATP) is an important cause of
morbidity and mortality in the newborn. Optimal management of subsequent pregnancies …

The O-glycans of a recombinant mucin-type protein expressed in insect cell lines derived
from Trichoplusia ni (Hi-5) and Spodoptera frugiperda (Sf9) were characterized. The P …

Nucleotide sugar transporters (NSTs) are multitransmembrane proteins, localized in the
Golgi apparatus and/or endoplasmic reticulum, which provide glycosylation enzymes with …

The mammalian Galβ1, 3GalNAc-specific α2, 3-sialyltransferase (ST3Gal I) was expressed
as a secreted glycoprotein in High Five TM (Trichoplusia ni) cells. Using this recombinant …
