Group O individuals lack such transferase enzymes and consequently continue to express the basic H structure only [3,4].It is determined that approximate 2million ABH glycan antigen sites are presented on each red blood cell [5].Additionally,the ABH antigens are widely expressed in other human ceils and tissues,including the sensory neurons,epithelium,the vascular endothelium and platelets [6].展开更多

文摘Dear Editor,The human gastrointestinal tract is colonized by trillions of microorganisms,the majority of which cannot be cultured (Wu et al.,2018).Numerous glycans are expressed on the surface of gut microbiota that are characteristic of different strains,and the diversity of these glycans is partially attributed to variations in their monosaccharides.
