* Phosphocholineglycansare distributed throughout the classes of bacterial glycans.
* The widespread presence of host proteins capable of reacting with ChoP glycans.
* These factors makes the presence of licD genes in other bacteria very striking.
* These bacterial ChoPglycans have both positive and negative immune reactivity.
