Structure of O-glycosidically linked oligosaccharides from glycoproteins of Trypanosoma cruzi CL-Brener strain: evidence for the presence of O-linked sialyl-oligosaccharides.

Glycoproteins on the cell surface of Trypanosoma cruzi are known to play important roles in the interaction of the parasite with the host cells. We previously determined the structures of the O-glycan chains from the sialoglycoproteins (mucin-like molecules) of the G- and Y-strains and observed sign...
