White Rose BBSRC DTP: LPS and LTA: sticking, binding and anchoring? Using cutting-edge glycobiology to address molecular interactions of bacteria cell-wall biomarker with host cells

University of York White Rose BBSRC Doctoral Training Partnership

Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and Lipoteichoic acid (LTA) from bacteria is an important activator of immune cells. Their soluble form released from the bacterial cell-wall interact with an array of host molecules found “out, on or in” cells, and are thought to activate defense mechanisms. Read more
