Immunogenicity of mycobacterial PPE44 (Rv2770c) in Mycobacterium bovis BCG-infected mice.

abstract：:The attachment of Helicobacter pylori to the human gastric mucosa is a complex process involving several specific structures recognised by the cell surface receptors. Sialylated multivalent high mol. wt glycoproteins have been shown to inhibit H. pylori sialic acid-specific haemagglutination. This study explored wheth...
