Title:
METHODS OF 6-O-SULFATING POLYSACCHARIDES AND 6-O-SULFATED POLYSACCHARIDE PREPARATIONS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2002079258
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
Disclosed are methods of 6-O-sulfating glucosaminyl N-acetylglucosamine residues (G1cNAc) in a polysaccharide preparation and methods of converting anticoagulant-inactive heparan sulfate to anticoagulant-active heparan sulfate and substantially pure polysaccharide preparations may by such methods. Also disclosed is a mutant CHO cell which hyper-produces anticoagulant-active heparan sulfate. Methods for elucidating the sequence of activity of enzymes in a biosynthetic pathway are provided.
