Abstract

The members of a widespread Aspergillus fungi genus cause various diseases including the invasive aspergillosis with high morbidity and mortality rates, especially for immunosuppressed patients. One of the main carbohydrate structures on the surface of their cell wall is the galactomannan (GM) which is used in diagnostic kits for the detection of specific types of aspergillosis. However, limited specificity of currently available test systems urges the need for their further improvement. Herein we report the first synthesis of branched heterosaccharides related to GM and containing α-(1→2)-/α-(1→6)-linked tetramannoside backbone chain bearing one galactofuranoside unit or its β-(1→5)-linked dimer. The preparation of conjugates of the obtained spacered oligosaccharides with BSA is also performed to produce tools for the assessment the specificity of anti-Aspergillus immune response and to select antibodies suitable for the development of novel diagnostic kits that may discriminate distinct types of aspergillosis.

期刊介绍： Carbohydrate Research publishes reports of original research in the following areas of carbohydrate science: action of enzymes, analytical chemistry, biochemistry (biosynthesis, degradation, structural and functional biochemistry, conformation, molecular recognition, enzyme mechanisms, carbohydrate-processing enzymes, including glycosidases and glycosyltransferases), chemical synthesis, isolation of natural products, physicochemical studies, reactions and their mechanisms, the study of structures and stereochemistry, and technological aspects. Papers on polysaccharides should have a "molecular" component; that is a paper on new or modified polysaccharides should include structural information and characterization in addition to the usual studies of rheological properties and the like. A paper on a new, naturally occurring polysaccharide should include structural information, defining monosaccharide components and linkage sequence. Papers devoted wholly or partly to X-ray crystallographic studies, or to computational aspects (molecular mechanics or molecular orbital calculations, simulations via molecular dynamics), will be considered if they meet certain criteria. For computational papers the requirements are that the methods used be specified in sufficient detail to permit replication of the results, and that the conclusions be shown to have relevance to experimental observations - the authors'' own data or data from the literature. Specific directions for the presentation of X-ray data are given below under Results and "discussion".
