  • Publication number: 20030139375
    Abstract: Oligosaccharides specific for Chlamydia mediate attachment of the organism to host cells.
    Type: Application
    Filed: November 5, 2002
    Publication date: July 24, 2003
    Inventors: Cho-Chou Kuo, Albertina F. Swanson, Sen-Itiroh Hakomori, Noriko Takahashi
  • Publication number: 20020173483
    Abstract: Mannose-containing, branched oligosaccharides mediate binding of chlamydia to mammalian cells. The “high mannose-type” glycan was found to block adhesion of chlamydiae to mammalian cells and thus to inhibit infectivity. The glycan and its mimetics, including multivalent derivatives, can be used as agents for treatment or prevention of chlamydia-based human diseases.
