Journal ArticleDOI
Chemistry and biology of galactofuranose-containing polysaccharides.
TL;DR: Recent advances both in the understanding of the mechanism of UGM and in the synthesis of galactofuranose and its derivatives are highlighted in this review.
Journal ArticleDOI
Selective detection and site-analysis of O-GlcNAc-modified glycopeptides by beta-elimination and tandem electrospray mass spectrometry.
Kenneth D. Greis,Bradley K. Hayes,Frank I. Comer,Marion Kirk,Stephen Barnes,Todd L. Lowary,Gerald W. Hart +6 more
TL;DR: Synthetic glycopeptides were generated and used to demonstrate that O-GlcNAc-modified peptides can be rapidly identified in complex mixtures by HPLC-coupled electrospray mass spectrometry and to conclude that the selectivity and the sensitivity of this method will make it a powerful tool for determining the sites of O- Glc NAc modification on proteins of low abundance such as transcription factors and oncogenes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Novel lipoarabinomannan point-of-care tuberculosis test for people with HIV: a diagnostic accuracy study.

Kerkhoff,Charlotte Schutz,Elena Ivanova Reipold,Amy Ward,David A Barr,Aurélien Macé,Andre Trollip,Rosie Burton,Rosie Burton,Stefano Ongarello,Abraham Pinter,Todd L. Lowary,Catharina Boehme,Mark P. Nicol,Mark P. Nicol,Graeme Meintjes,Claudia M. Denkinger +20 more
TL;DR: In comparison to AlereLAM, FujiLAM offers superior diagnostic sensitivity, while maintaining specificity, and could transform rapid point-of-care tuberculosis diagnosis for hospital inpatients with HIV.
Journal ArticleDOI
Synthesis of the docosanasaccharide arabinan domain of mycobacterial arabinogalactan and a proposed octadecasaccharide biosynthetic precursor.
TL;DR: The first total syntheses of these 18- and 22-residue oligosaccharides both functionalized with an aminooctyl linker arm are reported, expected to be useful tools in probing the biosynthesis of these arabinan-containing polysaccharides.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Together, the results provide new insights into the tolerogenic effects of costimulatory blockade and identify DC-SIGN(+) suppressive macrophages as crucial mediators of immunological tolerance with the concomitant therapeutic implications in the clinic.
