 Comments:

JIM7 binds to a relatively heavily methylesterified epitope found in cell walls of diverse species. The epitope structure shown is the most efficient competitor identified. Other competitors that are almost equally effective are: GalA1->4GalA1->4MeGalA1->4MeGalA1->4MeGalA1->4GalA and MeGalA1->4GalA1->4MeGalA1->4GalA1->4MeGalA1->4GalA.
