New insights into the immunomodulatory potential of sialic acid on monocyte-derived dendritic cells by Zélia Silva, João Amorim Rabaça, Vanessa Luz, Rita Adubeiro Lourenço, Mariolina Salio, Alexandra Couto Oliveira, Pedro Bule, Sebastian Springer, Paula Alexandra Videira

“…Our investigation juxtaposes this novel approach with the conventional cytokine-based maturation regimen commonly employed in clinical settings. Notably, C. perfringens sialidase remarkably increased MHC-I levels compared to other sialidases having different specificities, supporting the idea that higher MHC-I is due to the cleavage of specific sialoglycans on cell surface proteins. …”
