galium verum/carbohydrate

Under general aqueous conditions, xanthan appears in an ordered conformation, which makes its backbone largely resistant to degradation by known cellulases. Therefore, the xanthan degradation mechanism is still unclear because of the lack of an efficient hydrolase. Herein, we report the catalytic

Recirculating lymphocytes initiate extravasation from the blood stream by binding to specialized high endothelial venules (HEV) within peripheral lymph nodes (PN) and other secondary lymphoid organs. We have previously reported that lymphocyte attachment to PN HEV is selectively inhibited by

L-selectin is a cell adhesion molecule that mediates homing of lymphocytes to the peripheral lymph nodes and is speculated to bind to the carbohydrate determinant which is specifically expressed by the endothelial cells of high endothelial venules (HEVs) in the peripheral lymph nodes. One of the
