| Research Abstract |
The synthesis of biologically active oligosaccharides in symbiosis and immunity and their applications to chemical biological research are described. Forssmann pentasaccharide identified as a ligand of the lectin SLL-2 isolated from an octocoral Sinularia lochmodes, be-ta glucan oligosaccharide stimulating innate immunity and lipomannan glycoconjugates isolated from BCG were selected as target natural glycoconjudates. We prepared by these complex oligosaccharides and related derivatives and elucidation of the structure activity relationships using the synthetic glucans.
