Bioactivity | Lewis X trisaccharide (Lewis X, Lex) is a potent TH2 regulator, antagonizes LPS-induced IL-12 immune expression. Lewis X trisaccharide is a human histo-blood group antigen, plays an key role in cell-cell adhesion, and servers as a tumor marker. Lewis X trisaccharide is highly expressed in the outer membrane of the parasite, can be used for the immunology research of schistosomiasis[1][2][3]. |
Invitro | Lewis X trisaccharide-BSA (25 μg/mL; 30 min; before LPS stimulation of 10 ng/mL for 4 h) IL-12p40 and suppresses IL-12p70 protein expression induced by Lipopolysaccharide (LPS, HY-D1056)[1].Lewis X trisaccharide (2 μM; 30 min; before LPS stimulation of 10 ng/mL for 2 h) decreases nuclear NF-κB concentration in mice bone marrow derived dendritic cells (BDDCs)[1].Lewis X trisaccharide-BSA (25 μg/mL; 48 h) or Lewis X trisaccharide (5 μg/mL; 48 h) plus ovalbumin (OVA, 25 μg/mL) increases cytokines (IL-4, IL-13, and INF-γ) level in mice splenocytes[1]. Lewis X trisaccharide-containing glycoconjugates stimulates B cells to proliferate and to produce factors that down-regulates the TH1 immune response and up-regulates the TH2 immune response[2]. |
