Peptide Synthesis> | A TcAg2-derived peptide (sequence: NH2-KKKQKTAPFGQAAAGDKPSPFGQAC) was custom synthesized (GenScript) and coupled through its C-terminal cysteine residue to maleimide-activated BSA (Sigma) as described [61]. | Get A Quote |
The immunodominant epitope α-d-Galp-(1?→?3)-β-d-Galp-(1?→?4)-d-GlcNAc, expressed in the mucins of the infective trypomastigote stage of Trypanosoma cruzi has been proposed for multiple clinical applications, from serodiagnosis of protozoan caused diseases to xenotransplantation or cancer vaccinology. It was previously shown that the analogue trisaccharide, with glucose in the reducing end instead of GlcNAc, was as efficient as the natural trisaccharide for recognition of chagasic antibodies. Here we describe the synthesis of α-d-Galp-(1?→?3)-β-d-Galp-(1?→?4)-d-Glcp functionalized as the 6-aminohexyl glycoside and its conjugation to BSA using the squarate method. The conjugate of 6-aminohexyl... More
