Human deficiencies of fucosylation and sialylation affecting selectin ligands.
Selectins are carbohydrate-binding adhesion molecules that are required for leukocyte trafficking to secondary lymphoid organs and to sites of infection. They interact with fucosylated and sialylated ligands bearing sialyl-Lewis X as a minimal carbohydrate structure. With this in mind, it should be...
