The branched hexasaccharide whose trivial name is lacto-N-hexaose (LNH) as well as a mono- and a difuco-derivative were isolated from human breast milk of a Lewis a positive donor by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Reversed-phase HPLC on C18 columns which

We report here the in vivo production of type 2 fucosylated-N-acetyllactosamine oligosaccharides in Escherichia coli. Lacto-N-neofucopentaose Galbeta1-4GlcNAcbeta1-3Galbeta1-4(Fucalpha1-3)Glc, lacto-N-neodifucohexaose Galbeta1-4(Fucalpha1-3)Glc-NAcbeta1-3Galbeta1-4(Fucalpha1-3)Glc, and lacto-N-neodifucooctaose Galbeta1-4GlcNAcbeta1-3Galbeta1-4(Fucalpha1-3)GlcNAcbeta1-3Galbeta1-4(Fucalpha1-3)Glc were produced from lactose added in the culture medium. Two of them carry the Lewis X human antigen.

Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) is a widely used method in oligosaccharide analysis. Underivatized oligosaccharides are not well-suited for that purpose due to their low ionization efficiency; however, derivatization requires tedious sample purification steps which may lead
