Aminoceramide mimetic was synthesized and conjugated to N-linked oligosaccharides having multivalent GlcNAc by reductive amination. Ceramide mimetic conjugates with "complex-type" glycan having five or six GlcNAc termini (termed Os Fr. B-Cer) were purified, analyzed by thin-layer chromatography (TLC), and finally characterized by MS/MS analysis through liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry. Binding of Os Fr. B-Cer placed on solid phase polystyrene surface with [3H]cholesterol-labeled liposomes containing Os Fr. B-Cer, or containing various glycosphingolipids (GSLs) was determined. The binding of Os Fr. B-Cer liposomes to Os Fr. B-Cer coated plate was significantly higher than binding of GM3 liposomes. Other GSL liposomes showed no binding. Thus, self-recognition of Os Fr. B-Cer was clearly demonstrated using ceramide mimetic conjugates.
