Fucosyltransferases in Schistosoma mansoni development [PDF]

Glycobiology, 2001
Glycoconjugate-bound fucose, abundant in the parasite Schistosoma mansoni, has been found in the form of Fucalpha1,3GlcNAc, Fucalpha1,2Fuc, Fucalpha1,6GlcNAc, and perhaps Fucalpha1,4GlcNAc linkages. Here we quantify fucosyltransferase activities in three developmental stages of S. mansoni.
