ABSTRACT
A series of well-defined oligosaccharide fragments of the capsular polysaccharide of Streptococcus pneumoniae type 3 has been generated. Partial-acid hydrolysis of the capsular polysaccharide, followed by fractionation of the oligosaccharide mixture by Sepharose Q ion-exchange chromatography yielded fragments containing one to seven [-->3)-beta-D-GlcpA-(1-->4)-beta-D-Glcp-(1-->] repeating units. The isolated fragments were analysed for purity by high-pH anion-exchange chromatography with pulsed amperometric detection (HPAEC-PAD) using an IonPac AS11 column, and their structures were verified by 1H NMR spectroscopy and nano-electrospray mass spectrometry. The oligosaccharides can be used to produce neoglycoprotein vaccines with a defined carbohydrate part.
