Page/Page column 31; 32, (2015/10/05)
The invention relates to carbohydrate ligands presenting the minimal Human Natural Killer-1 (HNK-1) epitope that bind to anti-MAG (myelin-associated glycoprotein) IgM antibodies, and their use in diagnosis as well as for the treatment of anti-MAG neuropathy. In particular, the invention relates to disaccharides of formula (I) and (II) wherein Z is optionally substituted phenyl, heteroaryl, arylcarbonyl, or heteroarylmethyl, and to therapeutically acceptable polymers comprising a multitude of substituents of formula (I) and/or formula (II), wherein Z is a bifunctional linker connecting the disaccharides to the polymer backbone.

Two pentasaccharides, representative of those found on complex N-glycans, were synthesized for use as potential substrates for sulfotransferases. The synthesis was achieved by the addition of a disaccharide donor β-D-GlcA(1→3)α-D-Gal-trichloroacetimidate
