Abstract:
The oligosaccharides alpha-Kdop-(2-->8)-alpha-Kdop-(2-->6)-beta-D- GlcpNAc-(1-->OAll) 4, alpha-Kdop-(2-->4)-alpha- Kdop-(2-->4)-alpha-Kdop-(2-->6)-beta-D-GlcpNAc-(1-->OAll+ ++) 10, and the branched Kdo tetrasaccharide alpha- Kdop-(2-->4)-[alpha-Kdop-(2-->8)]-alpha-Kdop-(2-->4)-a lpha-Kdop-(2-->OAll) 21 have been prepared using en bloc transfer of Kdo oligosaccharide bromide donors to protected mono- or disaccharide acceptors. Radical addition of cysteamine to the anomeric allyl glycosides afforded good yields of the corresponding 3-(2-aminoethylthio)propyl glycosides 5, 11 and 22. The spacer ligands were activated with thiophosgene and reacted with bovine serum albumin to give the neoglycoconjugates 6, 12 and 23 which were used to prepare solid-phase antigens in enzyme immuno-assays for the characterization of monoclonal antibodies against chlamydial LPS. The data showed that the (2-->8)-linked Kdo disaccharide and the (2-->8)-(2-->4)-linked Kdo trisaccharide portion of the neoglycoconjugate 23 were not available for binding of antibodies which recognize these structures as di- and trisaccharide, respectively.

Conjugated Proteins
Nucleoproteins are protein complexes that contain nucleic acids, categorized as deoxyribonucleoproteins (DNPs) or ribonucleoproteins (RNPs) respectively. The nucleosome is a typical example of a DNP where nuclear DNA is associated with histone proteins. The major antigen for the Covid-19 virus SARS-CoV is an RNP that is critical...
