Abstract excerpt
Lipophosphoglycan (LPG) is the major surface glycoconjugate of Leishmania donovani promastigotes and is composed of a capped polymer of repeating PO4-6Gal(beta 1,4)Man alpha 1 disaccharide units linked via a phosphosaccharide core to a lyso-1-O-alkylphosphatidylinositol anchor. An exogenous accep...
