lymphocytic choriomeningitis/carbohydrate

Lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (Armstrong strain) bears two overlapping epitopes, GP-1A (A) and GP-1D (D), recognized by neutralizing antibodies on the major surface glycoprotein GP-1. Both are discontinuous conformational epitopes that require prior formation of disulfide bridges and addition

alpha-Dystroglycan (alpha-DG) is a ubiquitously expressed molecule that has been identified as a cellular receptor for lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCMV) and other arenaviruses. Recently, it was demonstrated that LCMV receptor function is critically dependent on post-translational

Glycosylation changes on surface molecules of T cells affect cell trafficking and function and may be useful in discriminating between naive, effector, and memory T cells. To analyze oligosaccharide structures on T cells activated in vivo, we examined alterations in sialic acid residues on T cells

There exists in the mouse a family of I-region-controlled (Ia) antigens which carry carbohydrate-defined determinants. These antigens appear in serum as glycolipids and seem to be actively secreted by antigen-activated T-cells. This paper describes the ability of selected viral, bacterial, and

Immunisation with purified DNA is a powerful technique for inducing immune responses. The concept is very simple, involving insertion of the gene encoding the antigen of choice into a bacterial plasmid, and injection of the plasmid into the host where the antigen is expressed and induces humoral and
