PC -modified glycans, the core fucose is a1,6-linked as in mammals. Other N-glycans fromnematodes also carry a1,3 -fucose on the proximal[21,26] and, uniquely, distal GlcNAc residues of the core ... [24] and O. volvulus[25]. These N-glycans contain the typical trimannosyl core, with and without core fucosylation, and carrybetween one and four additional N-acetylglucosamine residues. In these...
