Definition: |
An alpha-D-glucoside that is the 5-aminopentyl glycoside of a branched octasaccharide consisting of beta-D-glucosyl, beta-D-mannosyl, alpha-D-glucosyl, beta-D-glucosyl, beta-D-mannosyl and beta-D-glucosyl residues linked sequentially (1->4), (1->4), (1->3), (1->4) and (1->4), with both mannosyl residues also having linked (1->3) to them alpha-D-glucuronosyl residues. The 5-aminopentyl group at the reducing end is a spacer to enable further conjugation to a carrier protein for immunological studies.
