In 1985, we reported that a naturally occurring human antibody (anti-Gal), produced as the
most abundant antibody (1% of immunoglobulins) throughout the life of all individuals …

The α‐gal epitope (Galα1‐3Galβ1‐(3) 4GlcNAc‐R) is abundantly synthesized on glycolipids
and glycoproteins of non‐primate mammals and New World monkeys by the glycosylation …

Glycans are critical to every facet of biology and medicine, from viral infections to
embryogenesis. Tools to study glycans are rapidly evolving; however, the majority of our …

The study of the expression of alpha-galactosyl epitopes on various mammalian cells is of
particular interest, since as much as 1% of circulating IgG antibodies in humans interact with …

Anti-Gal is a natural antibody, which constitutes as much as 1% of circulating IgG in humans
and displays a distinct specificity for the structure Gal alpha 1----3Gal. This glycosidic …

The Galα1→ 3Gal structure is displayed on the zona pellucida glycoprotein ZP3 on murine
oocytes. This trisaccharide has been implicated in sperm-zona pellucida adhesive events …

As President and organiser of the 26th Congress of the International Society pf Blood
Transfusion'ISBT 2000', I am pleased to introduce this work on the biochemistry of human …

The nomenclature, structure, mode of action and applications of lectins are reviewed. This
group of proteinaceous macromolecules has the property of interacting with carbohydrates …

Tumor necrosis factor (TNF), but not lymphotoxin (LT), is directly trypanolytic for salivarian
trypanosomes. This activity was not blocked by soluble 55-kilodalton and 75-kilodalton TNF …

The many carbohydrate chains on Covid-19 coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 and its S-protein form
a glycan-shield that masks antigenic peptides and decreases uptake of inactivated virus or S …
