The major cell surface glycoconjugate of leishmanial parasites is lipophosphoglycan (LPG). Its relative abundance, unique structure, and cellular location suggest one or more important roles in interactions between parasites and host cells. In this article, Sam Turco examines current information about this novel glycoconjugate and its significance.
利什曼原虫寄生虫的主要细胞表面糖缀合物是脂磷壁酸聚糖(LPG)。其相对丰度、独特结构和细胞定位表明它在寄生虫与宿主细胞之间的相互作用中发挥着一个或多个重要作用。在本文中,萨姆·图尔科研究了关于这种新型糖缀合物及其重要性的现有信息。
