Proinflammatory responses to malaria have crucial roles in controlling parasite growth and disease pathogenesis. The glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) of Plasmodium falciparum is thought to be an imp...
The glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) anchors of Plasmodium falciparum are thought to be etiologic agents of malaria based on their ability to induce proinflammatory cytokine production by macrophage...
The olefinic residue of n-pentenyl glycosides serves as the trigger for regioselective construction of higher saccharides and then for elaboration in multivalent glycolipids. [reaction: see text]
Glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) anchors are crucial for the survival of the intraerythrocytic stage Plasmodium falciparum because of their role in membrane anchoring of merozoite surface proteins i...
We have previously demonstrated that the human placenta contains a uniquely low sulfated extracellular aggrecan family chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan (CSPG). This CSPG is a major receptor for the ad...
Chondroitinase ABC is a lyase that degrades chondroitin sulfate, dermatan sulfate and hyaluronic acid into disaccharides. The purpose of this study was to determine the ability of chondroitinase ABC t...
