Popis: A monoclonal antibody, Onc-M26, that recognizes a cancer-associated antigen expressed by most human adenocarcinomas of the breast was shown previously to recognize a carbohydrate epitope carried on a hexaglycosyl ganglioside carrying the sialyl-Lewis X (SLe x ) antigen (P. S. Linsley et al. , 1988, Cancer Res. 48, 2138–2148). Evidence that the antibody binds even more avidly to minor gangliosides containing more complex carbohydrate chains prompted us to search for a higher affinity epitope among sialylated oligosaccharides from pooled human milk. Affinity chromatography of a partially purified fraction of monosialylated milk oligosaccharides on a column containing monoclonal antibody Onc-M26 bound to a macroporous silica matrix gave a peak with a retention volume significantly greater than that of a standard SLe x -active hexasaccharide. The retained material consisted of two nonasaccharides, each containing the SLe x tetrasaccharide sequence, Neu5Acα2–3Galβ1–4(Fucα1–3)GlcNAc, linked β1–6 to a 3,6-disubstituted galactosyl residue.
