Supramolecular complexing of membane Siglec CD22 mediated by a polyvalent heterobifunctional ligand that templates on IgM.

We report the synthesis and in vitro evaluation of a multivalent homing device, a polymer which contains preordered pendant groups with dual specificity, a trisaccharide moiety, which is specific for the siglec CD22, and an antibody specific hapten, nitrophenol. The device efficiently attracts antihapten IgM to the surface of human lymphoma B cells as well as to CD22-conjugated magnetic beads by mediating the formation of a ternary complex on the surface of the target.
