CFG Subgroup: Immune recognition of glycans
This is a public group
-
Profile
Welcome to the CFG subgroup dedicated to Immune recognition of glycans.
Topics of interest include:
1. Innate immune recognition of glycans on bacteria, viruses, yeasts etc. by host cell glycan binding proteins
2. Links between innate and adaptive immunity
3. Glycan-based autoantigens
4. Carbohydrate vaccines
5. Glycan-binding proteins: C-type lectins, Siglecs, Galectins, CD1 recognition of glycolipids, glycan-specific antibodiesYour Subgroup Leader is Dr. Yvette van Kooyk, of the Vrije University Medical Center (The Netherlands).
Please join the conversation!
