Trisaccharide Gal\u03b21-3Gal\u03b21-3GalNAc\u03b11-R (A), tetrasaccharide Gal\u03b11-4Gal\u03b21-3Gal\u03b21-3GalNAc\u03b11-R (B), and pentasaccharide Gal\u03b11-4Gal\u03b21-3Gal\u03b21-3Gal\u03b21-3GalNAc\u03b11-R (C), (R = biotinylated probe) were synthesized by stepwise condensation and\/or block synthesis by the use of 5-(methoxycarbonyl)pentyl 2-azido-4,6-O-benzylidene-2-deoxy-\u03b1-d-galactopyranoside as a common glycosyl acceptor. The synthesis of the tetrasaccharide and the pentasaccharide was improved from the viewpoint of reducing the number of synthetic steps and increasing the total yield by changing from stepwise condensation to block synthesis. Moreover, hexasaccharide E, which contains the oligosaccharide sequence which occurs in E. granulosus, was synthesized from trisaccharide D. We examined the antigenicity of these five oligosaccharides by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Although compounds of C\u2013E did not exhibit antigenicity against cystic echinococcosis (CE) patient sera, compounds B, D, and E showed good serodiagnostic potential for alveolar echinococcosis (AE).<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/molecules26185652","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,9,18]],"date-time":"2021-09-18T00:13:47Z","timestamp":1631924027000},"page":"5652","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Synthesis of the Carbohydrate Moiety of Glycoproteins from the Parasite Echinococcus granulosus and Their Antigenicity against Human Sera"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"26","author":[{"given":"Noriyasu","family":"Hada","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Tokyo University of Science, Chiba 278-8510, Japan"},{"name":"Faculty of Pharmacy, Keio University, Tokyo 105-8512, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5951-2981","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Tokio","family":"Morita","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Pharmacy, Keio University, Tokyo 105-8512, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4134-696X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Takashi","family":"Ueda","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Pharmacy, Keio University, Tokyo 105-8512, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kazuki","family":"Masuda","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Pharmacy, Keio University, Tokyo 105-8512, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hiromi","family":"Nakane","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Pharmacy, Keio University, Tokyo 105-8512, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mami","family":"Ogane","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Pharmacy, Keio University, Tokyo 105-8512, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kimiaki","family":"Yamano","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Hokkaido Institute of Public Health, Sapporo 060-0819, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8697-5519","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Frank","family":"Schweizer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, Faculty of Science, University of Manitoba, Winnipeg, MB R3T 2N2, Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9338-5047","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Fumiyuki","family":"Kiuchi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Pharmacy, Keio University, Tokyo 105-8512, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,9,17]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"143","DOI":"10.1248\/cpb.c18-00768","article-title":"Synthesis of the non reducing end oligosaccharides of a glycosphingolipid from Ascaris suum","volume":"67","author":"Hada","year":"2019","journal-title":"Chem.
