A subset wide variety glycan surfaces interact system through...
Abstract Lipoarabinomannan (LAM), the major antigenic glycolipid of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, is an important immunodiagnostic target for detecting tuberculosis (TB) infection in HIV-1–coinfected patients, and believed to mediate a number functions that promote disease development. To probe human humoral response against LAM during TB infection, several novel LAM-specific mAbs were molecularly cloned from memory B cells isolated infected patients grown vitro. The fine epitope specificities...
