Identification and characterization of a novel capsule-like complex surface antigen of Francisella tularensis
… has been to identify and characterize the capsule-like complex (CLC) surface antigen of F. tularensis, and to determine its role in virulence and immunoprotection in a mouse model. In addition, I have investigated the role of CLC in biofilm formation. The CLC appears as a negatively …

Surface Polysaccharides of Francisella tularensis: Further Characterization, Role in Virulence, and Application to Novel Vaccine Strategies
… However, F. novicida has a similar capsule glycosylation locus as F. tularensis and could produce a similar capsule-like complex that has previously been described for the F. tularensis LVS strain. I was able to isolate and characterize this CLC of F. novicida, which contained a …
