Synthesis of the carbohydrate moiety from the parasite Echinococcus multilocularis and their antigenicity against human sera
摘要:
Stereocontrolled syntheses of biotin-labeled oligosaccharide portions with a Gal beta 1-3GalNAc core of the Em2 glycoprotein antigen obtained from the parasite Echinococcus multilocularis have been accomplished. Trisaccharide Gal beta 1-3(GlcNAc beta 1-6)GalNAc alpha 1-R (G), tetrasaccharide Gal beta 1-3(Gal beta 1-4GlcNAc beta 1-6)GalNAc alpha 1-R (I) and pentasaccharide Gal beta 1-3(Gal alpha 1-4Gal beta 1-4GlcNAc beta 1-6)GalNAc alpha 1-R (K) (R = biotinylated probe) were synthesized by block synthesis by the use of 5-(methoxycarbonyl)pentyl 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-beta-D-galactopyranosyl-(1 -> 3)-2-azido-4-O-benzyl-2-deoxy-alpha-D-galactopyranoside as a common glycosyl acceptor. Moreover, linear trisaccharide Gal alpha 1-4Gal beta 1-3GalNAc alpha 1-R (H) and branched tetrasaccharide Gal alpha 1-4Gal beta 1-3(GlcNAc beta 1-6)GalNAc alpha 1-R (1) were synthesized by stepwise wise condensation. We examined the antigenicity of these five oligosaccharides by an enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Our results demonstrate that biotinylated oligosaccharides H, I and K show good serodiagnostic potential to detect infections caused by the parasite E. multilocularis. Among them the linear sequence Gal alpha 1-4Gal beta 1-3GalNAc alpha 1-R in oligosaccharide (H) appears to show the highest sensitivity (95%). Moreover, our study clarified the dominant carbohydrate epitope of Em2 antigen. (C) 2011 Elsevier Masson SAS. All rights reserved.
