Synthetic glycans provide insight into the binding properties of toxic serum antibodies

Abstract

A chemoenzymatic strategy is introduced whereby a glycan backbone is assembled enzymatically to give a core oligosaccharide that is subjected to chemical manipulations to install terminal epitopes. A library of oligosaccharides
containing the human natural killer-1 epitope was synthesized, enabling evaluation of the binding specificities of serum antibodies of patients with anti-myelin-
associated glycoprotein neuropathy.
