U. Gambert et al., GALACTOSYLATION WITH BETA-GALACTOSIDASE FROM BOVINE TESTES EMPLOYING MODIFIED ACCEPTOR SUBSTRATES, Bioorganic & medicinal chemistry, 5(7), 1997, pp. 1285-1291
In this study beta 1-3 linked analogues of the T-antigen determinant w
ere sythesized in preparative scale by transgalactosylation using beta
-galactosidase from bovine testes to give synthetic antigens. Accepter
s with modifications of the sugar residue such as alpha-glycosylated s
pacers, as well as GlcNAc-alpha OR- and 2dGal-alpha OR-substrates open
ed further possibilities for galactosylation. (C) 1997 Elsevier Scienc
