Identification of Antigenic Glycans from Schistosoma mansoni by Using a Shotgun Egg Glycan Microarray Open

Megan L. Mickum, Nina Salinger Prasanphanich, Xuezheng Song, Nelum Dorabawila, Msano Mandalasi , et al. · 2016

Infection of mammals by the parasitic helminth Schistosoma mansoni induces antibodies to glycan antigens in worms and eggs, but the differential nature of the immune response among infected mammals is poorly understood. To better define th…

<i>Schistosoma mansoni</i>α1,3-fucosyltransferase-F generates the Lewis X antigen Open
