Effect of Sialylation of Histophilus somni Lipooligosaccharide on Virulence and Resistance to Host Defenses
<p>Incorporation of N-acetyl neuraminic acid (NANA), or sialic acid, onto lipooligosaccharide (LOS) enhances the virulence of several bacterial species. In the present study, we assessed the effect of sialylation of Histophilus somni LOS on complement-mediated killing, binding of complement fa...
