We showed previously that HL-60 and F9 mouse embryonal carcinoma cells will take up
and deblock peracetylated Galβ1–4GlcNAcβ-O-naphthalenemethanol (Galβ1–4GlcNAc-
NM) and use the disaccharide as a primer of oligosaccharide chains (Sarkar, AK, Fritz, TA,
Taylor, WH, and Esko, JD (1995) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 92, 3323–3327). We now report
that another disaccharide, acetylated GlcNAcβ1–3Gal-naphthalenemethanol (GlcNAcβ1–
3Gal-NM), has even greater potency and that both compounds will inhibit sialyl Lewis X (sLe …
