Binding of Glycopeptides to Proteins

A glycopeptide-BSA conjugate (150) containing the tumor-associated T-antigen structure has been constructed (44,73). 

The trisaccharide-hexapeptide partial structure (151) of aleukemia-virus envelope glycoprotein, which was obtained from 46 (see Section 11,2) via saccharide and carboxyl deprotection, has also been coupled to BSA to furnish a synthetic glycoprotein 152 containing 12% of carbohydrate in the form of the trisaccharide (19).
