Abstract
Cranberry is a well-known functional food, but the compounds directly responsible for many of its reported health benefits remain unidentified. Complex carbohydrates, specifically xyloglucan and pectic oligosaccharides, are the newest recognized class of biologically active compounds identified in cranberry materials. Cranberry oligosaccharides have shown similar biological properties as other dietary oligosaccharides, including effects on bacterial adhesion, biofilm formation, and microbial growth. Immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory activity has also been observed. Oligosaccharides may therefore be significant contributors to many of the health benefits associated with cranberry products. Soluble oligosaccharides are present at relatively high concentrations (~20% w/w or greater) in many cranberry materials, and yet their possible contributions to biological activity have remained unrecognized. This is partly due to the inherent difficulty of detecting these compounds without intentionally seeking them. Inconsistencies in product descriptions and terminology have led to additional confusion regarding cranberry product composition and the possible presence of oligosaccharides. This review will present our current understanding of cranberry oligosaccharides and will discuss their occurrence, structures, ADME, biological properties, and possible prebiotic effects for both gut and urinary tract microbiota. Our hope is that future investigators will consider these compounds as possible significant contributors to the observed biological effects of cranberry.

Abstract
Cranberry ( Vaccinium macrocarpon) juice is traditionally used for the prevention of urinary tract infections. Human urine produced after cranberry juice consumption can prevent Escherichia coli adhesion, but the antiadhesive urinary metabolites responsible have not been conclusively identified. Adult female sows were therefore fed spray-dried cranberry powder (5 g/kg/day), and urine was collected via catheter. Urine fractions were tested for antiadhesion activity using a human red blood cell (A+) anti-hemagglutination assay with uropathogenic P-fimbriated E. coli. Components were isolated from fractions of interest using Sephadex LH-20 gel filtration chromatography followed by HPLC on normal and reversed-phase sorbents with evaporative light scattering detection. Active urine fractions were found to contain a complex series of oligosaccharides but not proanthocyanidins, and a single representative arabinoxyloglucan octasaccharide was isolated in sufficient quantity and purity for full structural characterization by chemical derivatization and NMR spectroscopic methods. Analogous cranberry material contained a similar complex series of arabinoxyloglucan oligosaccharides that exhibited antiadhesion properties in preliminary testing. These results indicate that oligosaccharides structurally related to those found in cranberry may contribute to the antiadhesion properties of urine after cranberry consumption.

Abstract
Sialyl compounds are essential components of various biological fluids but relatively little is known about their occurrence in the extracellular fluid of patients with end-stage renal disease. As we have developed a macropreparative method for concentrating and desalting a wide range of fractions from diluted biological fluids we have been able to isolate and identify 5 sialooligosaccharides, 3 sialosugarphosphates, 2 monosialoglycopeptides and 1 disialoglycopeptide. The structures have been elucidated predominantly by one and two-dimensional NMR spectroscopy, enzymatic degradation and FAB mass spectrometry. The accumulation of these compounds in uremic sera may be of particular interest as they may interact in the molecular biology of diseases typically associated with the uremic state, e.g., immune deficiency, neurological disorders, receptor binding abnormalities, complement system disturbances and cell membrane alterations.

Abstract
alpha 1,3-Fucosyltransferase solubilized from human liver has been purified 40,000-fold to apparent homogeneity by a multistage process involving cation exchange chromatography on CM-Sephadex, hydrophobic interaction chromatography on Phenyl Sepharose, affinity chromatography on GDP-hexanolamine Sepharose and HPLC gel exclusion chromatography. The final step gave a major protein peak that co-chromatographed with alpha 1,3-fucosyltransferase activity and had a specific activity of approximately 5-6 mumol min-1 mg-1 and an M(r) approximately 44,000 deduced from SDS-PAGE and HPLC analysis. The purified enzyme readily utilized Gal beta 1-4GlcNAc, NeuAc alpha 2-3Gal beta 1-4GlcNAc and Fuc alpha 1-2Gal beta 1-4GlcNAc, with a preference for sialylated and fucosylated Type 2 acceptors. Fuc alpha 1-2Gal beta 1-4Glc and the Type 1 compound Gal beta 1-3GlcNAc were very poor acceptors and no incorporation was observed with NeuAc alpha 2-6Gal beta 1-4GlcNAc. A polyclonal antibody raised against the liver preparation reacted with the homologous enzyme and also with the blood group Lewis gene-associated alpha 1,3/1,4-fucosyltransferase purified from the human A431 epidermoid carcinoma cell line. No cross reactivity was found with alpha 1,3-fucosyltransferase(s) isolated from myeloid cells. Examination by Northern blot analysis of mRNA from normal liver and from the HepG2 cell line, together with a comparison of the specificity pattern of the purified enzyme with that reported for the enzyme expressed in mammalian cells transfected with the Fuc-TVI cDNA, suggests a provisional identification of Fuc-TVI as the major alpha 1,3-fucosyltransferase gene expressed in human liver.

Abstract
A soluble alpha-3/4-fucosyltransferase secreted into the growth medium of the human A431 epidermoid carcinoma cell line has been purified 700,000 fold by a series of steps involving chromatography on Phenyl Sepharose 4B, CM-Sephadex C-50 and GDP-hexanolamine Sepharose 4B. The untreated spent culture medium transferred almost ten times more fucose to the subterminal N-acetylglucosamine residue in the Type 1 (Gal beta 1-3GlcNAc) disaccharide than to the subterminal sugar in the Type 2 (Gal beta 1-4GlcNAc) disaccharide; the relative activity with these two substrates remained virtually unchanged throughout the purification procedure. At no stage was any alpha-3-fucosyltransferase species acting solely on N-acetylglucosamine residues in Type 2 chains separated from the bulk of the alpha-3/4-fucosyltransferase activity. The purified enzyme preparation showed insignificant activity with glycoprotein substrates having N-linked oligosaccharide chains with terminal Type 2 sequences but transferred fucose to a mucin-type glycoprotein with O-linked oligosaccharide chains with terminal Type 1 structures. Lactose was a poor substrate but the activity of the enzyme was influenced by the presence of substituents on the terminal beta-galactosyl residue and 2'-fucosyllactose was almost as good an acceptor as the Type 1 disaccharide. The properties of the purified enzyme with regard to specificity, divalent cation requirements, pH optimum, and M(r), closely resembled those of the Lewis-blood-group gene associated alpha-3/4-fucosyltransferase isolated from human milk.

Abstract
The acceptor specificity and general properties of a Lewis blood-group gene associated alpha-3/4-L-fucosyltransferase isolated from human milk have been examined at the penultimate purification stage involving affinity chromatography on GDP-hexanolamine Sepharose, and after a subsequent gel filtration step on Sephacryl S-200. Both preparations transferred fucose to the O-4 position of N-acetylglucosamine in Type 1 (Gal beta 1-3GlcNAc-R) acceptors and the O-3 position of glucose in lactose-based (Gal beta 1-4Glc) oligosaccharides, and both used Type 1 sialylated compounds when the terminal N-acetylneuraminic acid was present in alpha-2,3 linkage. The striking difference between the two preparations was in their reactivity with Type 2 (Gal beta 1-4GlcNAc-R) chains; after Sephacryl S-200 chromatography the apparent KM values for the alpha-3/4- preparation with unsubstituted low-molecular-weight Type 2 oligosaccharides were considerably increased. Substitution of the terminal galactose with sialic acid in alpha-2,3 linkage decreased the KM values for low-molecular-weight oligosaccharides but no detectable incorporation of fucose was observed into N-acetyllactosamine end-groups of glycoproteins with N-linked oligosaccharide chains, irrespective of the presence of sialic acid in the terminal sequences.

Abstract
The erythrocyte receptors for S-fimbriated Escherichia coli, which causes sepsis and meningitis in newborn infants, were investigated. Neuraminidase and trypsin treatments of erythrocytes abolished the hemagglutination ability of the bacteria. To identify the receptor glycoproteins, we separated erythrocyte membrane proteins by gel electrophoresis, blotted them to nitrocellulose, and incubated them with 125I-labeled bacteria. The only bacterium-binding bands identified corresponded to glycophorin A dimer and monomer, and the binding was abolished by neuraminidase treatment of the blot. Radiolabeled bacteria also bound to purified glycophorin A adsorbed to polyvinyl chloride microwells, and the binding was inhibited by other sialoglycoproteins and isolated sialyloligosaccharides containing the NeuAc alpha 2-3Gal sequence. Oligosaccharides which contain the NeuAc alpha 2-3Gal beta 1-3GalNAc and NeuAc alpha 2-3Gal beta 1-3(NeuAc alpha 2-6)GalNAc sequence and which are identical to the O-linked saccharides of glycophorin A were twofold more effective inhibitors of binding than were other oligosaccharides containing the NeuAc alpha 2-3Gal sequence. The replacement of sialic acid in asialoerythrocytes with a purified Gal beta 1-3GalNAc alpha 2-3 sialyltransferase, which forms the O-linked NeuAc alpha 2-3Gal beta 1-3GalNAc sequence in asialoglycophorins, restored bacterial hemagglutination. These results indicated that the major erythrocyte receptor for S-fimbriated E. coli is the NeuAc alpha 2-3Gal beta 1-3GalNAc sequence of the O-linked oligosaccharide chains of glycophorin A.
