| Abstract: | Two capsular polysaccharides from Cryptococcus neoformans serotype A have been shown to be chemically equivalent. One of these polysaccharides was further investigated and shown to consist of a chain of (1→3)-linked d-mannosyl residues, each of which is substituted at O–2 by a d-glucosyluronic acid or d-xylosyl group. |
