Collection: Sugar Antigens [Functional Oligosaccharides]
Sugar Antigens [Functional Oligosaccharides] — includes oligosaccharides and glycolipids that mimic cell-surface carbohydrate antigen structures, including globo-series derivatives and gangliosides. These structures serve as models in studies of carbohydrate-based molecular recognition.
Sugar Antigens [Functional Oligosaccharides] are used by glycobiology and immunology researchers to study interactions between carbohydrate antigens and binding proteins such as lectins or antibodies. Compounds such as Globotriose, Gb3-beta-MP, or Ganglioside GM3 are often used as models in studies of cell-to-cell recognition and as structural references in the development of synthetic glycoconjugates.

Pay attention to the type of glycosidic linkage (for example alpha 1-3 or alpha 2-6), linker groups such as pNP or PrN3 for further conjugation, and the structural purity of the compounds. All products are genuine Tokyo Chemical Industry (TCI) Japan products, with purity, packaging, and storage conditions listed on each item's page.
