ABSTRACT:
A process for preparing difucosyl Y.sub.2 antigen (dimeric Le.sup.x) , said process comprising: (1) preparing a lactonorhexaosylceramide backbone or a lactonorhexaosylsaccharide backbone linked to a carrier molecule; and (2) enzymatically fucosylating said backbone at the III.sup.3 and V.sup.3 positions through an .alpha.1.fwdarw.3 linkage. A process for preparing Le.sup.y antigen analogues, said process comprising: (1) preparing a lactonorhexaosyl-ceramide backbone or a lactonorhexaosylsaccharide backbone linked to a carrier molecule; and (2) enzymatically fucosylating said backbone at the terminal .beta.-Gal through an .alpha.1.fwdarw.2 linkage; and (3) enzymatically fucosylating said backbone at one or more positions through an .alpha.1.fwdarw.3 linkage, provided that steps (2) and (3) can be conducted simultaneously or in any order. A process for preparing a fucosylated lactonorhexaosylceramide, lactonorhexaosylsaccharide linked to a carrier molecule or higher analogues thereof, said process comprising: (1) preparing a lactonorhexaosylceramide backbone, a lactonorhexaosylsaccharide backbone linked to a carrier molecule or backbones of higher analogues thereof; and (2) enzymatically fucosylating one or more residues of said backbone. A process for preparing sialyl Le.sup.x and sialyl dimeric Le.sup.x.
