Bacterial Polysaccharides

05/15/1989 - "Circular dichroism spectroscopy is used to determine the absolute configuration of the constituent sugar residues of bacterial polysaccharides from two strains of Streptococcus sanguis which are important receptors in bacterial coaggregation in the formation of dental plaque. "
11/01/1985 - "This study showed that when sorbitol in a dentifrice was replaced by xylitol, a sugar alcohol of the pentitol type, the dental plaque of human subjects contained more ammonia and significantly less bacterial polysaccharides. "

03/10/2000 - "These studies demonstrate that bacterial polysaccharides with a distinct charge motif activate T cells and that this activity confers immunity to a distinct pathologic response to bacterial infection."

08/15/2007 - "The control of systemic infection by encapsulated microorganisms requires T-independent type II (TI-2) Ab responses to bacterial polysaccharides. "
06/01/1988 - "Immunodeficiency associated with recurrent infections and an isolated in vivo inability to respond to bacterial polysaccharides."
11/01/1986 - "Splenectomized patients are highly susceptible to infections with capsulated bacteria and an impaired response to vaccination with bacterial polysaccharides has frequently been observed in these individuals. "
07/01/1983 - "stimulation of the neutrophiles with enterobacterial inactivated vaccine in vitro or with bacterial polysaccharides in vivo followed by the NBT-test is recommended for adequate estimation of the neutrophile link in the system of the host defense from infections. "
05/15/1957 - "[The dependance of antiviral effect of bacterial polysaccharides on treatment time, treatment dosis and the degree of infection]."

11/01/1976 - "[Effect of gram-negative bacterial polysaccharides on various immunity reactions and experimental tumors]."
04/01/1947 - "Degenerative changes in tumor cells induced by bacterial polysaccharides."
02/01/2008 - "Results of experiments have shown that use of bacterial polysaccharides with preventative purposes has better effect at S-45 growth than at EAT growth; Vaccination with Proteus prolongs lifespan mach more than vaccination with antitoxin of Staphylococcus; Vaccination with complex divaccine of Staphylococcus-Proteus causes complete resorption of tumors from 32 to 60 days; Development of experimental malignant tumors depends on type of anti-microbial vaccines and starting date of inoculation after completion of vaccination."
03/14/2000 - "Remarkably, cancer patients immunized with globo H-KLH produce anti-globo H antibody levels often exceeding those formed by immunization with bacterial polysaccharides. "
01/01/1996 - "The inhibition was probably due to specific structures of the bacterial polysaccharides, since the structures of the saccharides are very similar to those of cancer specific sialyl Lewis carbohydrates (sialyl Le(a) and Le(x)) which bind to ELAM-1 of endothelial cells. "

12/01/2000 - "T cells activated in vitro by zwitterionic bacterial polysaccharides (Zps) known to induce abscess formation required CD28-B7 costimulation and, when adoptively transferred to the peritoneal cavity of naïve rats, promoted abscess formation. "
08/01/1994 - "fragilis polysaccharide B as well as other abscess-inducing bacterial polysaccharides, we observed the following. "
11/01/1994 - "Other bacterial polysaccharides that possess oppositely charged groups (such as the group antigen or capsular polysaccharide from Streptococcus pneumoniae type 1 strains) also exhibited potent abscess-inducing capabilities. "
