Jb. Schwarz et al., A broadly applicable method for the efficient synthesis of alpha-O-linked glycopeptides and clustered sialic acid residues, J AM CHEM S, 121(12), 1999, pp. 2662-2673
The total syntheses of complex sialylated cell-surface antigens have been a
ccomplished. The target systems include 2.3-STF, STn, 2,6-STF, and glycopho
rin antigens. In addition,an alpha-O-linked serine glycoside of an entire L
ewis blood group (Y) antigen has been assembled.
