Abstract
eq-4-O-Acyl group directed β-rhamnosylation and β-mannosylation are achieved in a carborane or BARF anion formed weakly nucleophilic environment with the assistance of a 2,3-orthocarbonate group. The 4-O-acyl group plays a critical role in directing the β-selectivity, and the weakly coordinating anion is essential to amplify this direction. The orthocarbonate group could be readily removed with 1,3-propanediol in the presence of BF3·Et2O.

Abstract
The current study aimed to investigate exopolysaccharides (EPSs) produced by two Antarctic yeasts isolated from soil and penguin feathers samples collected on Livingston Island (Antarctica). The strains were identified as belonging to the species Leucosporidium yakuticum (LY) and Cystobasidium ongulense (CO) based on molecular genetic analysis. The EPS production was investigated using submerged cultivation. Different chemical, chromatographic, and spectral analyses were employed to characterize EPSs. LY accumulated 5.5 g/L biomass and 4.0 g/L EPS after 120 h of cultivation, while CO synthesized 2.1 g/L EPS at the end of cultivation, and the biomass amount reached 5.5 g/L. LY-EPS was characterized by a higher total carbohydrate content (80%) and a lower protein content (18%) by comparison with CO-EPS (62%, 30%). The LY-EPS mainly consisted of mannose (90 mol%), whereas CO-EPS had also glucose, galactose, and small amounts of uronic acids (8-5 mol%). Spectral analyses (FT-IR and 1D, 2D NMR) revealed that LY-EPS comprised a typical β-(1 → 4)-mannan. Branched (hetero)mannan, together with β/α-glucans constituted the majority of CO-EPS. Unlike LY-EPS, which had a high percentage of high molecular weight populations, CO-EPS displayed a large quantity of lower molecular weight fractions and a higher degree of heterogeneity. LY-EPS (100 ng/mL) elevated significantly interferon gamma (IFN-γ) production in splenic murine macrophages and natural killer (NK) cells. The results indicated that newly identified EPSs might affect IFN-γ signaling and in turn, might enhance anti-infectious responses. The data obtained also revealed the potential of EPSs and yeasts for practical application in biochemical engineering and biotechnology.

Abstract
Gold(I)-catalyzed stereoselective β-glycosylation of primary alcohols is achieved using the orthogonally protected mannosyl α-ortho-hexynylbenzoate (OABz) donors devoid of 4,6-O-tethering groups used in conventionally constructing β-mannosidic bonds. The potential of this methodology is showcased by the first assembly of β-1,6-tri/hexa-/nonamannosides and related sulfated congeners through a convergent strategy. The synthesis features the stereocontrolled β-glycosylation of α-trimannosyl OABz donors and the late-stage sulfonation. This work is expected to expedite the preparation of β-1,6-mannans and functionalized derivatives.

Abstract
Hot water extraction and chromatographic purification methods were used to extract and purify two polysaccharides (RAPS-1 and RAPS-2) from the roots of alfalfa. Subsequently, RAPS-2 was modified using the HNO3/Na2SeO3 method to obtain Se-RAPS-2. The structural features, antioxidant and in vitro anti-tumor activities of the three polysaccharides were evaluated. The structural analysis revealed that RAPS-1 (Mw = 10.0 kDa) was composed of rhamnose, xylose, arabinose, galacturonic acid, mannose and glucose, whereas RAPS-2 (Mw = 15.8 kDa) consisted of rhamnose, xylose, galacturonic acid, mannose, glucose and galactose. RAPS-1 contained 1 → 2, 1 → 4, 1 → 3, and 1 → 6 or 1 → glycosidic bonds; however, while RAPS-2 lacked 1 → 4 glycosidic linkages. The molecular weight of Se-RAPS-2 was 11.0 kDa less than that of RAPS-2. The results of activities demonstrated that Se-RAPS-2 displayed superior antioxidant activity and inhibitory effect in HepG2 cells than RAPS-1 and RAPS-2.

Abstract
Mannose-binding lectin (MBL) is a key pattern recognition molecule in the lectin pathway of the complement system, an important component of innate immunity. MBL functions as an opsonin which enhances the sequential immune process such as phagocytosis. We here report an inhibitory effect of MBL on the motility of pathogenic bacteria, which occurs by affecting the energy source required for motility and the signaling pathway of chemotaxis. When Salmonella cells were treated with a physiological concentration of MBL, their motile fraction and free-swimming speed decreased. Rotation assays of a single flagellum showed that the flagellar rotation rate was significantly reduced by the addition of MBL. Measurements of the intracellular pH and membrane potential revealed that MBL affected a driving force for the Salmonella flagellum, the electrochemical potential difference of protons. We also found that MBL treatment increased the reversal frequency of Salmonella flagellar rotation, which interfered with the relative positive chemotaxis toward an attractive substrate. We thus propose that the motility inhibition effect of MBL may be secondarily involved in the attack against pathogens, potentially facilitating the primary role of MBL in the complement system.

Abstract
Leptospirosis, a zoonotic disease that is caused by many serovars which are more than 200 in the world, is an emerging worldwide disease. Accurate and rapid diagnostic tests for leptospirosis are a critical step to diagnose the disease. There are some commercial kits available for diagnosis of leptospirosis, but the obscurity of a species- or genus-specific antigen of pathogenic Leptospira interrogans causes the reduced sensitivity and specificity. In this study, the polysaccharide derived from lipopolysaccharide (LPS) of nonpathogenic Leptospira biflexa serovar patoc was prepared, and the antigenicity was confirmed by immunoblot and enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The performance of the rapid diagnostic test (RDT) kit using the polysaccharide as a diagnostic antigen was evaluated in Korea, Bulgaria and Argentina. The sensitivity was 93.9%, 100%, and 81.0% and the specificity was 97.9%, 100%, and 95.4% in Korea (which is a rare region occurring with 2 serovars mostly), Bulgaria (epidemic region with 3 serovars chiefly) and Argentina (endemic region with 19 serovars mainly) respectively. These results indicate that this RDT is applicable for global diagnosis of leptospirosis. This rapid and effective diagnosis will be helpful for diagnosis and manage of leptospirosis to use and the polysaccharide of Leptospira may be called as genus specific antigen for diagnosis.

Abstract
Mannose-binding lectin (MBL) plays key role in lectin pathway of innate immunity, and shows the ability of triggering opsonization intermediately. Substantial increase in the serum level of MBL has been confirmed during leptospirosis, which caused by a pathogenic spirochete, Leptospira. Leptospira has a fascinating locomotion pattern, which simultaneously gyrating and swimming forward, such motility enables that Leptospira is difficult to be captured by immune cells if without any assistance. In this study, the effect of mannose-binding lectin to Leptospira was quantitatively investigated by measuring some kinematic parameters, to discover the mechanism behind MBL-mediated immune responses during leptospiral infection. The results showed that mannose-binding lectin is capable of inhibiting the motility of Leptospira by transforming free swimming cells to tumbled rotating cells, resulted in the increase number of rotating cells. Otherwise, decrease in rotation rate of rotating cell has been observed. However, the swimming speed of swimming Leptospira cells showed no observable change under the effect of MBL. The inhibitory effect were only valid in a relatively short period, Leptospira cells regained their original motility after 2 h. This raises an interesting topic that Leptospira is somehow able to escape from the inhibitory effect of MBL by dragging such unfavorable molecules toward to the cell end and eventually throwing it out. The inhibitory effect of MBL on the motility of Leptospira is expected to provide a new insight into lectin pathway.

Abstract
Leptospirosis is re-emerging as a worldwide zoonosis and is caused by bacteria of the genus Leptospira. Human leptospirosis is associated with high temperature and humidity. Laboratory tests are indispensible for the early diagnosis and proper disease management. The demand for suitable leptospirosis point-of-care diagnostic tests grows with the awareness and number of incidences. Confirmation is achieved by the microscopic agglutination test, bacterial cultivation, PCR or histopathologic methods. However, high costs, poor standardization and/or elaborate sample preparation prevent routine use at the point of care. Cost-efficient, but insensitive serological methods dominate the diagnostic landscape and, likewise, urgently need improvement toward greater compliance with some of the point-of-care criteria. Combined application of antigen and antibody detection methods increases accuracy, but also new development or transfer of diagnostic technologies should be considered useful. Nano- and microparticle technology may play a key role in improving future antigen detection methods.

Abstract
There is an urgent need for improved diagnosis of leptospirosis, an emerging infectious disease which imparts a large disease burden in developing countries. We evaluated the use of Leptospira immunoglobulin (Ig)-like (Lig) proteins as a serodiagnostic marker for leptospirosis. Lig proteins have bacterial immunoglobulin-like (Big) tandem repeat domains, a moiety found in virulence factors in other pathogens. Sera from patients identified during urban outbreaks in Brazil reacted strongly with immunoblots of a recombinant fragment comprised of the second to sixth Big domains of LigB from L. interrogans serovar Copenhageni, the principal agent for transmission in this setting. Furthermore, the sera recognized an analogous LigB fragment derived from L. kirschneri serovar Grippotyphosa, a pathogenic serovar which is not endemic to the study area. The immunoblot assay detected anti-LigB IgM antibodies in sera from 92% (95% confidence interval, 85 to 96%) of patients during acute-phase leptospirosis. The assay had a sensitivity of 81% for sera from patients with less than 7 days of illness. Anti-LigB antibodies were found in sera from 57% of the patients who did not have detectable anti-whole-Leptospira responses as detected by IgM enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and microagglutination test. The specificities of the assay were 93 to 100% and 90 to 97% among sera from healthy individuals and patients with diseases that have clinical presentations that overlap with those of leptospirosis, respectively. These findings indicate that the antibody response to this putative virulence determinant is a sensitive and specific marker for acute infection. The use of this marker may aid the prompt and timely diagnosis required to reduce the high mortality associated with severe forms of the disease.

Abstract
Leptospirosis, caused by spirochetes of the genus Leptospira, has increasingly been recognized to affect travelers and residents in tropical settings. A zoonotic disease, leptospirosis is transmitted to humans through environmental surface waters contaminated by the urine of chronically infected mammals. Outcome of infection varies, ranging from acute febrile illness (including self-resolving undifferentiated fever) to aseptic meningitis to a fulminant syndrome of jaundice, oliguric renal failure, pulmonary hemorrhage, and refractory shock. Hospitalized cases have mortality rates as high as 25%. A recent clinical trial showed that third-generation cephalosporin is as effective as doxycycline and penicillin in the treatment of acute disease. Doxycycline is effective in preventing leptospirosis in travelers. No protective vaccine is currently available.

Abstract
Two stereocontrolled syntheses of a methyl glycoside of an alternating beta-(1-->4)-beta-(1-->3)-mannohexaose, representative of the mannan from Rhodotorula glutinis, Rhodotorula mucilaginosa, and Leptospira biflexa, are described. Both syntheses employ a combination of 4,6-O-benzylidene- and 4,6-O-p-methoxybenzylidene acetal-protected donors to achieve stereocontrolled formation of the beta-mannoside linkage. The first synthesis is a linear one and proceeds with a high degree of stereocontrol throughout and an overall yield of 1.9%. The second synthesis, a block synthesis, makes use of the coupling of two trisaccharides, resulting in a shorter sequence and an overall yield of 4.4%, despite the poor selectivity in the key step.

Abstract
The direct syntheses of a beta-(1-->2)-mannooctaose and of a beta-(1-->4)-mannohexaose are reported by means of 4,6-O-benzylidene-protected beta-mannosyl donors. The synthesis of the (1-->2)-mannan was achieved by means of the sulfoxide coupling protocol, whereas the (1-->4)-mannan was prepared using the analogous thioglycoside/sulfinamide methodology. In the synthesis of the (1-->4)-mannan, the glycosylation yields and stereoselectivities remain approximately constant with increasing chain length, whereas those for the (1-->2)-mannan consist of two groups with the formation of the tetra- and higher saccharides giving yields and selectivities consistently lower than those of the lower homologues. The decrease in yield after the trisaccharide in the (1-->2)-mannan synthesis is attributed to steric interference by the n-3 residue and is consistent with the collapsed, disordered structure predicted by early computational work. The consistently high yields and selectivities seen in the synthesis of the (1-->4)-mannan are congruent with the more open, ordered structure originally predicted for this polymer. The lack of order in the structure of the (1-->2)-mannan, as compared to the high degree of order in the (1-->4)-mannan, is also evident from a comparison of the NMR spectra of the two polymers and even from their physical nature: the (1-->2)-mannan is a gum and the (1-->4)-mannan is a high melting solid.

Abstract
Leptospirosis is a widespread zoonotic disease that affects all mammals in different parts of the world. Though there are many commercial kits available for the diagnosis of systemic leptospirosis, the nature of the antigen has not been described. Therefore, identification of a specific antigen is important. Since ocular involvement in leptospirosis has been reported, there is a need to identify and characterize the leptospiral antigen for diagnosis of uveitis associated with past leptospiral infection (leptospiral uveitis) and for confirming the clinical diagnosis. Seven-day-old culture of Leptospira biflexa serovar Patoc was used for preparing the antigen. The present study included serum samples from 81 patients with clinical criteria for leptospiral uveitis, 15 cataract controls and 15 non-leptospiral uveitis controls. Serum samples were assayed by ELISA using our antigenic preparation and by a microscopic agglutination test (MAT) using 19 serovars. The antigen prepared had 280 micro g LPS ml(-1) and no detectable amount of protein. Silver-staining of SDS-PAGE for protein and LPS, dot blot and Western blot analysis and proteinase K and periodate treatment showed that LPS (13-21 kDa and 28 kDa) in our preparation was the relevant antigen for serodiagnosis. IgG antibodies showed reactivity in both leptospiral uveitis patients and controls. However, on the basis of IgM response to LPS, 48 % of the leptospiral uveitis patients were significantly positive compared with controls; 58 % of leptospiral uveitis patients and none of the controls were positive for MAT. When MAT and IgM ELISA results were considered together, 77 % were significantly positive. LPS is identified as a candidate antigen for serodiagnosis of leptospiral uveitis and has sensitivity and specificity of 48 and 90 %, respectively, in ELISA for IgM antibodies. Confirmation of clinical diagnosis with a specific laboratory test would help to initiate the most appropriate treatment for leptospiral uveitis.

Abstract
Structural studies were carried out on an O-antigenic polysaccharide moiety derived from Porphyromonas circumdentaria NCTC 12469, a reference strain of Porphyromonas species. The polysaccharide chain was composed of D-glucose, D-galactose, N-acetyl-D-glucosamine, and N-acetyl-D-galactosamine in a molar ratio of 1:2:1:1. On the basis of results from 1H- and 13C-NMR spectroscopic analyses including COSY, TOCSY, and HMQC experiments together with results of Smith degradation, methylation analysis, and partial acid hydrolysis, it is concluded that the polysaccharide chain has a pentasaccharide repeating unit of -->6)-beta-D-Glcp-(1-->6)-beta-D-Galp-(1-->3)-beta-D-GlcpNAc-(1-->3)-beta-D-GalpNAc-(1-->. The immunoreaction between P. circumdentaria LPS and the corresponding antiserum was strongly inhibited by the pentasaccharide fragment (Glc-Gal-Gal-GlcNAc-GalNAc) isolated from partial acid hydrolysis of the above polysaccharide, suggestive of O-antigen specific antibodies in the used antiserum.

Abstract
Leptospirosis is a globally important zoonotic disease that affects humans on all continents, in both urban and rural contexts, and in temperate and tropical climes. Leptospirosis is a disease of the environment; transmission depends on interactions between humans and mammalian reservoir hosts. A variety of infectious diseases that present as undifferentiated febrile syndromes, such as malaria, dengue and influenza, as well as viral hemorrhagic fevers can mimic leptospirosis. The importance of pulmonary hemorrhage as a lethal complication of leptospirosis has become more widely recognized. In contrast to textbook dogma, population-based studies indicate that there is a poor correlation between infecting leptospiral strain and clinical expression of disease. Genetic transformation of a Leptospira sp. has now been reported, which should allow for detailed analysis of a variety of leptospiral genes. Publication of the whole Leptospira genome is eagerly awaited. Following recent reports of a new, highly effective conjugate typhoid vaccine, new efforts to find leptospirosis vaccines should include the manufacture and testing of conjugate leptospiral lipopolysaccharide vaccines. Recent advances, particularly in epidemiology, molecular genetics and pathogenesis, are placing leptospirosis at the cutting edge of biomedical science.

Abstract
The structure of the title mannan was determined exclusively by NMR. Because of the short relaxation time of the native mannan (100 kDa), a partially hydrolyzed mannan (10 kDa) was used for proton assignments by COSY, to correlate proton and carbon signals by HMQC, and to determine linkage positions between residues by HMBC. A further hydrolyzed mannan (oligomers of approximately 1.5 kDa) was used to determine the anomeric configuration, using Wilker's quasi-3D method [Wilker, W.; Leibfritz, D. Magn. Reson. Chem. 1995, 33, 632-638]. The procedure presented here can be used to determine the structure of any polysaccharide.

Abstract
There is an urgent need for development of new serodiagnostic strategies for leptospirosis, an emerging zoonosis with worldwide distribution. We have evaluated the diagnostic utility of five recombinant antigens in enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs) for serodiagnosis of leptospirosis. Sera from 50 healthy residents of a high-incidence region were used to determine cutoff values for 96% specificity. In paired sera from 50 cases of leptospirosis confirmed by the microscopic agglutination test, immunoglobulin G (IgG) but not IgM reacted with the recombinant leptospiral proteins. The recombinant LipL32 IgG ELISA had the highest sensitivities in the acute (56%) and convalescent (94%) phases of leptospirosis. ELISAs based on recombinant OmpL1, LipL41, and Hsp58 had sensitivities of 16, 24, and 18% during the acute phase and 72, 44, and 32% during convalescence, respectively. Compared to sera from healthy individuals, patient sera did not react significantly with recombinant LipL36 (P > 0.05). Recombinant LipL32 IgG ELISA demonstrated 95% specificity among 100 healthy individuals, and specificities ranging from 90 to 97% among 30 dengue patients, 30 hepatitis patients, and 16 patients with diseases initially thought to be leptospirosis. Among 39 Venereal Disease Research Laboratory test-positive individuals and 30 Lyme disease patients, 13 and 23% of sera, respectively, reacted positively with the rLipL32 antigen. These findings indicate that rLipL32 may be an useful antigen for the serodiagnosis of leptospirosis.

Abstract
In our previous paper (Matsuo, K., Isogai, E., and Araki, Y., Carbohydr. Res., 328: 517-524, 2000), antigenic polysaccharides obtained from the lipopolysaccharide (LPS) fraction of a nonpathogenic leptospira, Leptospira biflexa patoc Patoc I, are shown to be broadly crossreactable with most rabbit antisera elicited by immunization with various pathogenic leptospires. The result led us to test a protective effect of the same LPS in a hamster model system by heterologously challenging with a pathogenic leptospira, L. interrogans manilae UP-MMG. Firstly, a similarity in the antigenic epitopes of L. biflexa and L. interrogans was confirmed by the following assays. In the microscopic agglutination test (MAT), a hamster antiserum elicited by immunization with the L. biflexa-LPS preparation was shown to agglutinate cells of L. interrogans. Contrarily, in the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), the L. biflexa-LPS preparation was shown to crossreact with a hamster antiserum elicited by immunization with whole cells of L. interrogans. These results suggest that the same or closely related antigens may be present on the cell surfaces of both L. biflexa patoc Patoc I and L. interrogans manilae UP-MMG. Furthermore, in a protective assay, the prior administration of a L. biflexa-LPS preparation resulted in raising a protective response in hamsters against challenge by L. interrogans without any side effect. The protective effect was strongly dependent on the dose amounts and/or administration times of L. biflexa-LPS. Thus, L. biflexa-LPS preparations can use as a potent vaccine against leptospirosis caused by various leptospires.

Abstract
Previously, Rhodotorula glutinis was reported to produce a large amount of exocellular mannan, having a repeating unit of -->3)-D-Manp-(1-->4)-D-Manp-(1-->. Recently, we found that antigenic polysaccharides of Leptospira biflexa serovar patoc strain Patoc I have the same repeating unit and cross-react with antisera raised against extended strains of other leptospires (K. Matsuo, E. Isogai, and Y. Araki, Carbohydr. Res., in press). This structural identity and the difficulty of producing and isolating antigens led us to confirm the usefulness of Rhodotorula mannan as an immunoreactive antigen in a serological diagnosis of leptospirosis. In the present investigation, we confirmed the structural identity of an exocellular mannan isolated from R. glutinis AHU 3479 and tried to use it as an immunoreactive antigen in a serological diagnosis of leptospirosis. From its chemical analysis and (1)H- and (13)C-labeled nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometry, the Rhodotorula mannan was confirmed to consist of the same disaccharide units. Furthermore, such a preparation was shown to immunoreact to various sera from patients suffering with leptospirosis as well as to most rabbit antiserum preparations obtained from immunization with various strains of pathogenic leptospires. Therefore, the Rhodotorula mannan preparation is useful as an immunoreactive antigen in the serological diagnosis for leptospirosis.
