The glycobiology of the cestodes, a class of parasitic flatworms, is still largely unexplored. An important cestode species isEchinococcus granulosus, the tissue-dwelling larval stage of which causes hydatid disease. TheE. granulosuslarva is protected from the host by a massive mucin-based extracellular matrix termed laminated layer (LL). We previously reported ( .Biochemistry48:11678–11691) the molecular structure of the most abundant LL O-glycans, comprising up to six monosaccharide residues. These are based on Cores 1 and 2, in cases elongated by a chain of Galpβ1-3 residues, which can be capped by Galpα1-4. In addition, the Core 2 GlcNAcpresidue can be decorated with the Galpα1-4Galpβ1-4 disaccharide. Larger glycans also detected contained additional HexNAc residues that could not be explained by the structural repertoire described above. In this work, we elucidate, by mass spectrometry (MS) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), six additional glycans from theE. granulosusLL between six and eight residues in size. Their structures are related to those already described but in cases bear GlcNAcpβ1-6 or Galpα1-4Galpβ1-4GlcNAcpβ1-6 as ramifications on the core Galpβ1-3 residue. We also obtained evidence that noncore Galpβ1-3 residues can be similarly ramified. Thus, the new motif together with the previous information may explain all the glycan compositions detected in the LL by MS. In addition, we show that the anti-Echinococcusmonoclonal antibody E492 (Parasite Immunol21:141, 1999) recognizes Galpα1-4Galpβ1-4GlcNAcp(the blood P1-antigen motif). This explains the antibody's reactivity with a range ofEchinococcustissues, as the P1-motif is also carried on non-LL N-glycans and glycolipids from this genus.
