Chemical compound

Sialyl Lewis, also known as sialyl Le and SLe, is a tetrasaccharide carbohydrate that is usually attached to O-glycans on the surface of cells. It is known to play a vital role in cell-to-cell recognition processes. Sialyl Lewis is one of the most important blood group antigens and is displayed on the terminus of glycolipids that are present on the cell surface. The Sialyl Lewis determinant, E-selectin ligand carbohydrate structure, is constitutively expressed on granulocytes and monocytes and mediates inflammatory extravasation of these cells. Resting T and B lymphocytes lack its expression and are induced to strongly express sialyl Lewis upon activation. The Sialyl Lewis determinant is expressed preferentially on activated Th1 cells but not on Th2 cells.

Clinical significance

Defective synthesis of the sialyl Lewis antigen results in immunodeficiency (leukocyte adhesion deficiency type 2). Defective synthesis can be caused by the loss of fucosyltransferase, impairing the glycosylation of the glycosphingolipid.
