Functional expression of the capsule polymerase of Neisseria meningitidis serogroup X: a new perspective for vaccine development.

abstract：:We have developed a new method to co-localize multiple glycosyl transferases in different Golgi compartments. The approach relies on the proven ability of intact, sealed rat liver Golgi preparations to concentrate exogenous labeled sugar nucleotides into the lumen where they glycosylate either endogenous or artificial...
