Background: CD15/Lewis X

Lewis X (Le  ^x) is a glycan structure (Gal beta 1-4(Fuc alpha 1-3)GlcNAc beta -) that forms the terminus of N-linked carbohydrates such as the antigenic epitope Stage-Specific Embryonic Antigen-1 (SSEA-1/CD15). It is widely expressed, can be found on glycoproteins, glycolipids and proteoglycans and is a blood group antigen. Le  ^x is a marker for mouse embryonic stem and cancer cells, and is expressed on leukocytes, germ cells and neuronal stem cells in both mouse and human. Le  ^x is thought to enhance cell adhesion, either directly or by promoting integrin activation.
