Various structurally defined glycopeptides of natural origin were tested as inhibitors of guinea pig erythrocyte agglutination by enteropathogenic Escherichia coli strains expressing type 1 pili. Besides hybrid-type glycoasparagines from ovalbumin which were not active, large oligomannoside-type carbohydrate chains from legume storage glycoproteins moderately inhibited hemagglutinations, whereas the short oligomannoside-type glycoasparagine from ovalbumin Mana(l-6)[Mana(l-13
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
