Helicobacter pylori is known to bind with sugar chains possessing Lewis b structure. We are trying to combine oligosaccharides containing Lewis b sugar chain to water insoluble polysaccharide through some linker. Lacto-N-difucohexaose I (LNDFH I; Fucalpha1-->2Galbeta1-->3[Fucalpha1-->4]GlcNAcbeta1-->3Galbeta1-->4Glc) fits for that purpose

The specificity of perch (Perca fluviatilis) roe fucolectin was studied using the protein dot blot technique, followed by detection with colloidal gold-labeled neoglycoproteins bearing human milk polysaccharides. The strongest binding was noted with the H type 1 pentasaccharide lacto-N-fucopentaose (LNFP

The fragmentation patterns of hydrazide-conjugated and reductively aminated oligosaccharides, including lacto-N-fucopentaoses and lacto-N-difucohexaoses, produced on collisionally induced dissociation (CID) and ultraviolet photodissociation (UVPD) in a quadrupole ion trap are presented. The two derivatization methods generate different cross-ring cleavages on UVPD

Human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs), as an abundant and bioactive component of breast milk, work in many ways to promote the health of breast fed infants. The expression of HMOs has been shown to vary in accordance with Lewis blood type
