The lipooligosaccharide of the gut symbiont Akkermansia muciniphila exhibits a remarkable structure and TLR signaling capacity
Abstract The cell-envelope of Gram-negative bacteria contains endotoxic lipopolysaccharides (LPS) that are recognized by the innate immune system via Toll-Like Receptors (TLRs). The intestinal mucosal symbiont Akkermansia muciniphila is known to confer beneficial effects on the host and has a Gram-n...
