Polysaccharides

01/01/2012 - "The experimental infection also indicated that Δhp0197 could be cleared easily during infection, which could be attributed to the reduced thickness of the capsular polysaccharides (CPS) and the significantly reduced phagocytotic resistance. "

07/01/2006 - "In conclusion, the findings indicated that efficient Ab responses to polysaccharides are protective against severe infection in C2D. "
04/01/1998 - "It has been suggested that sulfated polysaccharides would be effective in a prophylactic product because they have been shown to block infection of cultured cells by sexually transmitted pathogens, including chlamydia. "
09/01/2012 - "Wheat (Triticum aestivum) bran derived polysaccharides, Arabinoxylans (AXs), were evaluated for their immunostimulatory and protective efficacy against Eimeria infection in chickens. "

12/15/2014 - "Compared with the labeling methods using free azidosugars, this method offers improved labeling efficiency and high specificity and should facilitate the elucidation of the functional role of glycans in cancer biology. "
09/01/2013 - "This approach of analysis has helped to reveal new isomeric structures for glycans of known/unknown composition and has been successfully applied for the profiling of N-glycans obtained from serum samples and cancer cells. "
01/01/2000 - "These results suggest that low-temperature storage is more effective in maintaining not only the quality of the mushrooms but also the contents of anti-tumor polysaccharides as health-beneficient foods."
09/08/2010 - "The aim of the present study was to examine the effects of an extract of Ganoderma lucidum (Reishi) polysaccharides (EORP), which is effective against cancer and immunological disorders, on adhesion molecule expression by human aortic smooth muscle cells (HASMCs) and the underlying mechanism. "
11/01/2014 - "Polysaccharides from the fungi appear effective in cancer treatments and low-molecular-weight compounds also attract much interest. "

02/01/2004 - "Taken together, the data show that this class of polysaccharides interacts directly with T cells in a nonbiased manner to elicit an IL-2-dependent anergic response that confers protection against abscess formation."
02/01/2004 - "Zwitterionic polysaccharides stimulate T cells with no preferential V beta usage and promote anergy, resulting in protection against experimental abscess formation."
03/10/2000 - "However, these models fail to explain how zwitterionic polysaccharides (Zps) confer protection against intraabdominal abscess formation in a T cell-dependent manner. "
11/01/1994 - "We report here that positively and negatively charged groups on polysaccharides are also essential for inducing protection against abscess formation. "
02/15/2003 - "Previous studies have implicated T cells in the pathogenesis of abscess formation, and we have recently shown that CD4(+) T cells activated in vitro by zwitterionic capsular polysaccharides from abscess-inducing bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus and Bacteroides fragilis initiate this host response when transferred to naive rats. "

03/01/2012 - "To investigate the protective effect and anticoagulation effect of polysaccharides from the sea cucumber (PSU) on acute incomplete cerebral ischemia (AICI). "
01/01/2011 - "To investigate the effects of polysaccharides of the Euphoria Longan (Lour.) Steud on focal cerebral ischemia/reperfusion(I/R) injury in rats. "
01/01/2015 - "Protective effects of Acanthopanax polysaccharides on cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury and its mechanisms."
02/01/2014 - "In a rat model of local cerebral ischemia, we further demonstrated that Angelica sinensis polysaccharides enhanced the antioxidant activity in cerebral cortical neurons, increased the number of microvessels, and improved blood flow after ischemia. "

07/01/2008 - "We performed specific MALDI mass spectrometry (MS)-based glycomic profile analyses of permethylated glycans in sera from breast cancer patients (12, stage I; 11, stage II; 9, stage III; and 50, stage IV) along with sera from 27 disease-free women. "
08/14/2015 - "This study reveals an unexpected role of core 1-derived O-glycans in breast cancer development in mice. "
