Popis: The intestine is one of the most important organs associated with the immune system. It is thought that disruption of intestinal immunity causes inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Recent advances in immune glycobiology have provided novel insights into many human diseases. For example, studies of glycosylation remodeling in mice have underscored the importance of oligosaccharides in the pathogenesis of IBD. Furthermore, aberrant glycosylation of IgG is a good serum marker of IBD activity. In this review, we examine current understanding of the role of aberrant glycosylation in the pathogenesis of IBD in terms of our original data and recent reports.
