Lipoglycans contribute to innate immune detection of mycobacteria.

Lipoglycans contribute to innate immune detection of mycobacteria.

Innate immune recognition is based on the detection, by pattern recognition receptors (PRRs), of molecular structures that are unique to microorganisms. Lipoglycans are macromolecules specific to the cell envelope of mycobacteria and related genera. They have been described to be ligands, as purifie...
