title: β(1,3) Branched heptadeca- and linear hexadeca-saccharides possessing an aminoalkyl group as a strong ligand to dectin-1.
abstract: In this report, we describe the convergent synthesis of β(1,3) oligosaccharides containing an aminoalkyl group. The branched heptadecasaccharide and linear hexadecasaccharide acted as ligands of dectin-1 whose binding affinity was only 10-fold weaker than that of natural SPG and exhibited dectin-1 agonist activity.
