Bacteria are capable of expressing a diverse range of cell surface polysaccharides from capsules and lipopolysaccharides through teichoic acid molecules to lipoarabinomannans. This review will focus on the expression of capsular polysaccharides and their interaction with the host. In particular, it will focus on the role of capsular polysaccharides as immunomodulatory molecules.
细菌能够表达多种细胞表面多糖,从荚膜和脂多糖到磷壁酸分子再到脂阿拉伯甘露聚糖。本综述将聚焦于荚膜多糖的表达及其与宿主的相互作用。特别地,将关注荚膜多糖作为免疫调节分子的作用。
