Galactopyranosides and their use

Abstract

The present invention relates to simplified synthesis, new carbohydrate-based products and practical use of different carbohydrate-based products. Examples of these are (Galα1-3Gal), GlcNAcβ1-3Gal, α- or β-glycosides thereof, Galα1-3Gal- containing tri-, or higher oligosaccharides, α- or β-glycosides thereof, GlcNAcβ1-3Gal containing tri-, tetra-, or higher oligosaccharides, and derivatives and/or α- or β-glycosides thereof, Galα1-3GalGlcNAcβ1-3Gal, α- or β-glycosides thereof, Galα1-3Galβ1-4GlcNAcβ1-3Galβ1-4Glc, or other higher oligosaccharides containing the Galα1-3Gal-structure, α- or β-glycosides thereof, modified carbohydrates, di-, tri-, oligo-, or polyfunctional products containing carbohydrate structures, and the use of the products for synthesis, affinity purification, diagnostic applications and therapy.
