Serum IgM Glycosylation Associated with Tuberculosis Infection in Mice

ABSTRACT Changes in serum glycans discriminate between disease statuses in cancer. A similar connection has not been established in the context of infectious diseases such as tuberculosis (TB). The inflammation arising from infection by Mycobacterium tuberculosis may affect host protein glycosylatio...
