Abstract

"Chemical Equation Preseted" Mixed signals: The glycophospholipid 1, consisting of two cholinylphosphoCalNAc units, two 2-acetamino-4-amino2,4,6- trideoxygalactose rings, three glucose residues each with different linkages to other sugar units, and a ribitolphosphate residue, has been synthesized. Target 1 is recognized by the immune system, but not by the TLR-2 signaling receptor as previously postulated.
