- Staphylococcus aureus wall teichoic acid is a pathogen-associated molecular
pattern that triggers pro-inflammatory cytokine responses through langerin (CD207) on skin Langerhans cells. - A common genetic variation in langerin (CD207) compromises internalization of Staphylococcus aureus.
- Synthetic wall teichoic acid provides new insights into the systemic and
mucosal human antibody repertoire for Staphylococcus aureus glycotypes. - The C-type lectin receptor MGL senses N-acetylgalactosamine on the unique Staphylococcus aureus ST395 wall teichoic acid.
