  • Method for the production of sialylated oligosaccharides
    Patent number: 6528274
    Abstract: Disclosed are methods for the enzymatic synthesis of &agr;-sialylated oligosaccharide glycosides. Specifically, in the disclosed methods, &agr;2,3-sialyltransferase is used to transfer an analogue of sialic acid, employed as its CMP-nucleotide derivative, to the non-reducing sugar terminus of an oligosaccharide having a fucosyl group in the penultimate saccharide unit to the non-reducing sugar terminus. The analogue of sialic acid and the oligosacchairde employed in this method are selected to be compatible with the sialyltransferase employed.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 3, 1999
    Date of Patent: March 4, 2003
    Assignee: Synsorb Biotech, Inc.
    Inventors: Monica Marija Palcic, Keiko Sujino
