Abstract
Fut2-LacZ-null mice, which are a model of the human ABO and Lewis nonsecretor group, display increased susceptibility to experimental yeast vaginitis, indicating a role for alpha(1,2)fucosylated cervical glycans in mucosal defense. However, the lack of significant effect of competitive inhibition by exogenous neoglycoproteins in this study emphasizes the complexity of Candida-epithelial cell adhesion events.Entities:
