Expression of the Blood-Group-Related Gene B4galnt2 Alters Susceptibility to Salmonella Infection.
Glycans play important roles in host-microbe interactions. Tissue-specific expression patterns of the blood group glycosyltransferase β-1,4-N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase 2 (B4galnt2) are variable in wild mouse populations, and loss of B4galnt2 expression is associated with altered intestinal mic...
