Glycobiology of the Immune Response, Volume 1253
Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences Series

Carbohydrates are ubiquitous, essential molecules, as important as nucleic acids and proteins yet less well understood.  Mounting data demonstrate that microbial and mammalian glycans and their protein-binding partners (lectins) play central roles in all innate and adaptive immune responses.  Indeed, programmed remodeling of host glycans can modulate infection, autoimmunity, and cancer, while microbial glycoconjugates can serve as canonical innate receptor agonists that induce B cell and T cell activation.  Glycobiology of the Immune Response explores the integration of state-of-the-art glycobiology and immunology to raise awareness of the multifaceted roles of glycans and lectins in the immune system
