Mycobacterial lipoarabinomannan (LAM) is an important, immunologically active glycan found in the cell wall of mycobacteria, including the human pathogen Mycobacterium tuberculosis. At the core of LAM is a mannan domain comprised of α-(1→6)-linked-mannopyranose (Manp) residues. Previously, we and others have demonstrated that α-Manp-(1→6)-α-Manp disaccharides (e.g., Manp-(1→6)-α-ManpOctyl, 1) are the
