Lectin-Mediated Drug Targeting: Selection of Valency, Sugar Type (Gal/Lac), and Spacer Length for Cluster Glycosides as Parameters to Distinguish Ligand Binding to C-Type Asialoglycoprotein Receptors and Galectins

Abstract
Purpose.Common oligosaccharides of cellularglycoconjugates are ligands for more than one type of endogenous lectin.Overlapping specificities to β-galactosides of C-type lectins andgalectins can...
