Soluble egg antigens (SEA) of the human parasite Schistosoma mansoni are among the strongest natural stimuli of Th2 responses. Omega-1, a major glycoprotein in SEA, initiates these characteristic Th2 responses through conditioning of dendritic cells (DCs). In view of the reported immunomodulatory potential of SEA glycans, we have investigated omega-1 glycosylation, using an approach combining mass spectrometric techniques and enzyme treatments at the glycopeptide level. We demonstrate that…

Targeted Glycoproteomic Analysis Reveals That Kappa-5 is a Major, Uniquely Glycosylated Component of Schistosoma mansoni Egg Antigens*
TLDR
The distinct structural and antigenic properties of kappa-5 glycans suggest a specific role for kappa, a major glycoprotein antigen from S. mansoni eggs in schistosome egg immunogenicity.
Structural characterization of Schistosoma mansoni adult worm glycosphingolipids reveals pronounced differences with those of cercariae.
TLDR
It is hypothesized that the divergent structural features of the respective ceramide moieties are responsible for the published observation that only adult worm, but not cercarial glycosphingolipids are able to induce dendritic cell activation skewing the T-cell response toward a Th1 profile.
Schistosoma mansoni egg glycoproteins : glycan structures and host immune responses
TLDR
Structural and molecular details of the interaction between these three glycoproteins and innate immune cells of the host are unraveled and it is shown that the Th2-modulating capacity of omega-1 is dependent on both glycan-lectin interactions as well as its RNase activity.
Surface expression patterns of defined glycan antigens change during Schistosoma mansoni cercarial transformation and development of schistosomula.
TLDR
Observations suggest that surface accessible multifucosylated LDN-motifs are mostly expressed by O-glycans in cercariae, but principally by glycosphingolipids in schistosomula, and are relevant to the interaction with the host during the initial stages of infection withSchistosomes.
Microbial Biology Surface expression patterns of de fi ned glycan antigens change during Schistosoma mansoni cercarial transformation and development of schistosomula
TLDR
Observations suggest that surface accessible multifucosylated LDN-motifs are mostly expressed byO-glycans in cercariae, but principally by glycosphingolipids in schistosomula, which is in line with the documented shedding of the O-glycan-rich cercarial glycocalyx after transformation.
Tegument Glycoproteins and Cathepsins of Newly Excysted Juvenile Fasciola hepatica Carry Mannosidic and Paucimannosidic N-glycans
Recently, the prevalence of Fasciola hepatica in some areas has increased considerably and the availability of a vaccine to protect livestock from infection would represent a major advance in tools
Glycomic Analysis of Life Stages of the Human Parasite Schistosoma mansoni Reveals Developmental Expression Profiles of Functional and Antigenic Glycan Motifs*
TLDR
A longitudinal profiling study covering schistosome glycosylation throughout worm- and egg-development provides new insights into how stage-specifically expressed glycans may contribute to different aspects of schisto-host interactions.
Microarray assessment of N-glycan-specific IgE and IgG profiles associated with Schistosoma mansoni infection in rural and urban Uganda
TLDR
Assessment of plasma IgE and IgG reactivity among Ugandans from rural Schistosoma mansoni (Sm)-endemic islands and from proximate urban communities with lower Sm exposure confirmed associations with Sm and the rural environment and core β-1,2-xylose- and α- 1,3-fucose-specific responses were captured.
Schistosoma mansoni Soluble Egg Antigens Induce Expression of the Negative Regulators SOCS1 and SHP1 in Human Dendritic Cells via Interaction with the Mannose Receptor
TLDR
It is demonstrated that SEA glycans are essential for induction of enhanced SOCS1 and SHP1 levels in DCs via the MR, and provides novel mechanistic evidence for the potential of S. mansoni SEA glycANS to modulate human DCs, which may contribute to the capacity of SEA to down-regulate inflammatory responses.

IPSE/alpha‐1, a major secretory glycoprotein antigen from schistosome eggs, expresses the Lewis X motif on core‐difucosylated N‐glycans
TLDR
The glycosylation of interleukin‐4‐inducing factor from schistosome eggs (IPSE/alpha‐1) is investigated, a major secretory egg antigen from Schistosoma mansoni that triggers interleucin‐ 4 production in human basophils, by MS analysis of tryptic glycopeptides.
Glycomics Analysis of Schistosoma mansoni Egg and Cercarial Secretions*S
TLDR
A comparative glycomics analysis of the N- and O-glycans derived from glycoproteins present in S. mansoni secretions shows that they are potentially antigenic motifs and ligands for carbohydrate-binding proteins of the host immune system.
Structural mapping of the glycans from the egg glycoproteins of Schistosoma mansoni and Schistosoma japonicum: identification of novel core structures and terminal sequences.
TLDR
This study provides further evidence that multi-fucosylated terminal HexNAc units, previously identified on the cercarial glycocalyx O-glycans and egg glycosphingolipids, and now on the egg N- and O- glycans, are unique features of S. mansoni glycans.
Schistosome N-glycans containing core alpha 3-fucose and core beta 2-xylose epitopes are strong inducers of Th2 responses in mice.
TLDR
It is shown that core alpha 3-fucose and core beta 2-xylose determinants are expressed in the different developmental stages of Schistosoma mansoni, particularly in the excretory-secretory systems of schistosomula and adult worms and in eggs deposited in the liver.
Omega-1, a glycoprotein secreted by Schistosoma mansoni eggs, drives Th2 responses
TLDR
It is reported that omega-1, a glycoprotein which is secreted from S. mansoni eggs and present in SEA, is capable of conditioning human monocyte-derived dendritic cells in vitro to drive T helper 2 (Th2) polarization with similar characteristics as whole SEA.
Selective expression of different fucosylated epitopes on two distinct sets of Schistosoma mansoni cercarial O-glycans: identification of a novel core type and Lewis X structure.
TLDR
It is demonstrated that Lewis X could also be carried on the cercarial O-glycans, but the two distinctive sets of fucosylated epitopes were conjugated to two different core structures.
The purification, characterization, serological activity and hepatotoxic properties of two cationic glycoproteins (alpha 1 and omega 1) from Schistosoma mansoni eggs.
TLDR
Passive transfer of monospecific anti-omega 1 sera into S. mansoni infected, T cell-deprived mice completely prevented the occurrence of microvesicular hepatocyte damage in these animals.

TLDR
Lewis type carbohydrate LNFPIII can function as an adjuvant by their ability to induce a Th2 response, and is demonstrated to be not restricted on particular route of immunization.
Molecular Characterization of an Interleukin-4-inducing Factor from Schistosoma mansoni Eggs*
TLDR
P purification and sequence of the IL-4-inducing principle of S. mansoni eggs (IPSE) are shown, suggesting that IPSE may be an important parasite-derived component for skewing the immune response toward Th2.
DC-SIGN Mediates Binding of Dendritic Cells to Authentic Pseudo-LewisY Glycolipids of Schistosoma mansoni Cercariae, the First Parasite-specific Ligand of DC-SIGN*
TLDR
It is reported that the CLR DC-SIGN mediates adhesion of DCs to authentic glycolipids derived from Schistosoma mansoni cercariae and their excretory/secretory products and proposed that pathogens such as S. mansoni may use the observed flexibility in the secondary binding site of DC- SIGN to target DCs, which may contribute to immune escape.
