Figure 2: Published structures of the LOS of C. jejuni NCTC 11168, 81- 176 and human GM1 and GM2. A). C. jejuni NCTC 11168 [6] and the expected binding for lectins/antibodies present on the array. B). C. jejuni 81-176 [32] and the expected binding for lectins/antibodies present on the array. N.B. Expected lectin binding is predicted from specificities listed in Table 2. Lower specificity interactions are also possible. Presented structures are the published majority structure for each strain [6,32]. C). Structure of GM1 (bolded sugar residues are identical to published C. jejuni 11168 structure shown in A). D). Structure of GM2 (bolded sugar residues are identical to published 81-176 structure shown in B). |
