Innate Immune Recognition of Mycobacterium tuberculosis by Johanneke Kleinnijenhuis, Marije Oosting, Leo A. B. Joosten, Mihai G. Netea, Reinout Van Crevel

“…Innate immunity plays an important role in the host defense against M. tuberculosis, and the first step in this process is recognition of MTB by cells of the innate immune system. Several classes of pattern recognition receptors (PPRs) are involved in the recognition of M. tuberculosis, including Toll-like receptors (TLRs), C-type lectin receptors (CLRs), and Nod-like receptors (NLRs). …”

Physicochemical, Rheological, Structural, Antioxidant, and Antimicrobial Properties of Polysaccharides Extracted from Tamarind Seeds by Likun Ren, Yang Yang, Xin Bian, Xiaomei Li, Bing Wang, Dangfeng Wang, Dan Su, Linlin Liu, Dehui Yu, Xiaoxue Guo, Xiumin Zhang, Na Zhang

“…TSP was mainly composed of glucose (45.09%), galactose (22.80%), and xylose (28.89%), while it contained characteristic structure of polysaccharides, such as –OH, pyranose, and uronic acid at 3,418, 1,150, and 1,040 cm−1 respectively, which demonstrated that it was a uronic acid heteropolysaccharide. Moreover, the XRD pattern revealed the amorphous behavior of TSP, and it was found to consist of films or “sheets” reflected by SEM. …”
