Pages: 252
Description:
Carbohydrates are ubiquitous, essential molecules, as important
as nucleic acids and proteins yet less well understood.
Mounting data demonstrate that microbial and mammalian glycans and
their protein-binding partners (lectins) play central roles in all
innate and adaptive immune responses. Indeed, programmed
remodeling of host glycans can modulate infection, autoimmunity,
and cancer, while microbial glycoconjugates can serve as canonical
innate receptor agonists that induce B cell and T cell
activation. Glycobiology of the Immune Response
explores the integration of state-of-the-art glycobiology and
immunology to raise awareness of the multifaceted roles of glycans
and lectins in the immune system
