Dendritic cells (DCs) play an essential role in immunity against bacteria by phagocytosis and by eliciting adaptive immune responses. The phagocytosis of different pathogenic E. coli isolates was also enhanced by sialidase, which suggests that modifications on MDDC sialic acids may be considered in the development of MDDC-based antibacterial therapies In cas...
Whole cell lysate (20 μl) was combined with 80 μl of 0.05 N H2SO4 (hydrolysis reagent) and incubated at 80°C for 60 min. Samples were briefly centrifuged at 14,000 revolution/min (16,000 g), after which 20 μl of 1 M NaOH (neutralization reagent) was added and the mixture centrifuged again at 14,000 revolution/min. If you have any questions concerning where b...
