The images show the ManLAM stays associated with cells in the macrophage even after a few days. Wish the macrophages were better at killing M. tuberculosis… We @kiesslinglab.bsky.social hope to use this labeling for better #TB diagnostics. #chemtwitter🧪

Stephanie along with Chi-Wang Ma, @lsoyoung.bsky.social @vicmarando.bsky.social, Greg Babunovic, @thebrysonlab.bsky.social used bioorthogonal labeling with oxaziridines to follow the glycan in infected macrophages. This is the first example of labeling a single type of glycan in cells (we think).
