In 1992 Feizi and co-workers reported that an equimolar mixture of sulfated Le x and Le a tetrasaccharides derived from an ovarian cystoadenoma glycoprotein were strongly bound to E-and L-selectins [1]. In a recent communication, they concluded that sulfated Le a tetrasaccharide [2] and pentasacchar

โฆ Synopsis
The selectins are a family of adhesion molecules that mediate the binding of leucocytes to endothelial cells and platelets, as well as to lymphocyte-homing receptors. The ligands recognized by L-selectin have been identified as the tetrasaccharides SLe" and SLe" [ 11. Owing to the biological importance of these ligands in cell-adhesion processes, their efficient chemical synthesis is in demand [ 21.
Recently Feizi and co-workers reported the isolation of equimolar mixtures of sulfated Le" and Le" tetrasaccharides derived from an ovarian cystoadenoma glycoprotein that were more strongly bound to L-selectin than SLe" or SLe" [ 31. More recently, chemical syntheses of both sulfated Le" and Le" were reported from two independent laboratories [ 41.

E-selectin (endotherial-leukocyte adhesion molecule-l), P-selectin (GMP-140) and L-selectin (leukocyte adhesion molecule-l) belong to a family of adhesion molecules that mediate the binding of leucocytes to endothelial cells and platelets, as well as to lymphocyte-homing receptors. The ligand recogn
