Systematic Chemoenzymatic Synthesis of O-Sulfated Sialyl Lewis x Antigens. [PDF]
, 2015 O-Sulfated sialyl Lewis x antigens play important roles in nature. However, due to their structural complexity, they are not readily accessible by either chemical or enzymatic synthetic processes.

Advancements in Mass Spectrometry‐Based Glycomics in Food and Nutritional Science
Mass Spectrometry Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This review highlights advancements in mass spectrometry (MS)‐based glycomics in food and nutritional science. Carbohydrates, which are vital for human health, exhibit complex structures, making their analysis challenging. MS has become an indispensable tool for elucidating the structures of carbohydrates, including glycans, through soft ...

Specificity and utility of SubB2M, a new N-glycolylneuraminic acid lectin
Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, 2018 The B subunit of the subtilase cytotoxin (SubB) recognises N-glycolylneuraminic acid (Neu5Gc) containing glycans, the most prominent form of aberrant glycosylation in human cancers. We have previously engineered SubB by construction of a SubBΔS106/ΔT107 mutant (SubB2M) for greater specificity and enhanced recognition of Neu5Gc containing glycans.

Fucosylation limits ADCC in clinically used anti‐RhD monoclonal antibodies
Transfusion, EarlyView.Abstract Background Haemolytic disease of the fetus and newborn (HDFN) is caused by maternal alloantibodies, often targeting the D antigen on fetal red blood cells. Maternal immunization is preventable with timely administration of anti‐D polyclonal antibodies (pAbs).

Perinatal Gut Dysbiosis Reduces Milk Oligosaccharides via LPS‐Mediated Gut–Mammary Signaling in Mice
Food Frontiers, Volume 7, Issue 2, March 2026.Maternal gut dysbiosis elevates Gram‐negative bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS), which enters circulation and accumulates in mammary tissue. This compromises the blood–milk barrier and suppresses key enzymatic genes, ultimately reducing milk oligosaccharide synthesis and potentially affecting neonatal gut microbiota through breastfeeding.

N-linked glycan profiling of GGTA1/CMAH knockout pigs identifies new potential carbohydrate xenoantigens [PDF]
, 2015 BACKGROUND: The temporary or long-term xenotransplantation of pig organs into people would save thousands of lives each year if not for the robust human antibody response to pig carbohydrates.
