A highly efficient construction of GM1 epitope tetrasaccharide and its conjugation with KLH. GM1 epitope tetrasaccharide was synthesized by a condensation of sialyl-alpha(2-3)-gal acceptor and gal-beta(1-3)-GalN donor in a highly efficient manner. After introduction of mercaptohexanol to the tetrasaccharide, it was coupled to maleimide-activated KLH carrier protein to give the desired GM1 epitope-KLH conjugate.
