Product Information

• Name: Lewis X trisaccharide methyl glycoside
• Synonyms: Methyl 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-3-O-(α-L-fucopyranosyl)-4-O-(β-D-galactopyranosyl)-β-D-glucopyranosideGal-β-1,4(Fuc-α-1,3)GlcNAc-β-OMe
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Lewis X is a glycoprotein found on the surface of red blood cells and is composed of a trisaccharide that is covalently attached to the protein. It is expressed in the cells of all individuals, but at different levels depending on their blood group. Lewis X is an antigen for monoclonal antibody, which recognizes it by binding to its sugar residues. The antibody can be used to detect Lewis X-expressing cells in the blood and for cancer diagnosis. Antibodies against Lewis X can also be used to inhibit tumor growth by enhancing natural killer cell activity and killing tumor cells.
