Conjugates comprising galactose alpha 1,3 galactosyl epitopes and methods of using same

Abstract

This invention provides conjugates useful for xenotransplantation which comprise a galactose α1,3 galactosyl (αGal) epitope conjugated to a valency platform molecule, preferably a chemically defined valency platform molecule which allows precise valency. The invention also provides compositions comprising these conjugates, and methods (such as methods for inducing tolerance) using these conjugates and compositions.
