Synthesis of a Pentasaccharide and Neoglycoconjugates Related to Fungal α-(1→3)-Glucan and Their Use in the Generation of Antibodies to TraceAspergillus fumigatusCell Wall

Abstract

Invited for the cover of this issue is the group of researchers from N.D. Zelinsky Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences and the Pasteur Institute, Paris. The coverpicture illustrates our research: the production of antibodies against Aspergillus fumigatus cell wall α-(1→3)-glucan using chemically prepared pentasaccharide fragment of α-(1→3)-glucan conjugated with a carrier protein.
