Pig-to-human xenotransplantation might be an option to overcome the increasing shortage of human donor organs. However, naturally occurring antibodies in human blood against the Gal alpha 1-->3Gal antigen on pig endothelial cells lead to hyperacute or, if prevented, acute or delayed vascular rejection of the pig graft. The purpose of this study was therefore to evaluate synthetic oligosaccharides with terminal Gal alpha 1-->3Gal to inhibit antigen-binding and cytotoxicity of anti-alpha Gal antibodies against pig cells. Different oligosaccharides were synthesized chemically and by a combined chemico-enzymatic approach. These included monomeric di-, tri, and pentasaccharides, a polyacrylamide-conjugate (PAA-Bdi), as well as di-, tetra-, and octamers of Gal alpha 1-->3Gal. All were tested for inhibitory activity by anti-alpha Gal ELISA and complement-dependent cytotoxicity tests. PAA-Bdi was the best inhibitor of binding as well as cytotoxicity of anti-alpha Gal antibodies. Monomeric oligosaccharides efficiently prevented binding of anti-alpha Gal IgG, but less well that of anti-alpha Gal IgM, with tri- and pentasaccharides showing a better efficacy than the disaccharide. The two trisaccharides Gal alpha 1-->3Gal beta 1-->4GlcNAc and Gal alpha 1-->3Gal beta 1-->3GlcNAc were equally effective. Oligomers of Gal alpha 1-->3Gal were more effective than monomers in blocking the binding of anti-alpha Gal IgG, However, they could not block IgM binding, nor could they match the efficacy of PAA-Bdi, We conclude that oligosaccharides with terminal Gal alpha 1-->3Gal, most effectively as PAA-conjugates, can prevent binding and cytotoxicity of human anti-alpha Gal in vitro. The PAA-Bdi conjugate might be most suited for use as a Sepharose-bound immunoabsorption material.
