Abstract Relative affinities of several fucosylated and nonfucosylated oligo-N-acetyllactosaminoglycans for immobilized wheat germ agglutinin (WGA) were studied using a chromatographic technique. α(1-3) Fucosylation of theN-acetylglucosamine unit(s) in mono- and biantennary saccharides of the Galβ1-4GlcNAc-R type strongly reduced the WGA-affinity. In contrast, α(1-2) fucosylation of the nonreducing galactose unit(s) of the saccharides did not reduce the affinity.
