Abstract
Neoglycoproteins bearing key glycosyl substituents of several glycopeptidolipid antigens of pathogenic Mycobacterium species have been synthesized. Allyl glycosides of the terminal 6-deoxyhexose-containing units of the antigens were prepared, with appropriate ether and ester substituents in place. Ozonolysis of the allyl glycosides was then followed by reductive coupling with ε-amino groups of lysine residues in bovine serum albumin, using sodium cyanoborohydride at pH 7.8. The resulting neoglycoproteins emulated the antigenicity of the native molecule in several serological tests.
