In this study, we found that glycoproteins in bamboo shoots predominantly carry PCT N-glycans including the Lewis a epitope-containing ones, suggesting that bamboo shoot is an excellent source for the plant antigenic glycans to synthesize immunoactive neoglycopolymers. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=TanabeChinatsu en-aut-sei=Tanabe en-aut-mei=Chinatsu kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=KaoriFuruta en-aut-sei=Kaori en-aut-mei=Furuta kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= en-aut-name=MegumiMaeda en-aut-sei=Megumi en-aut-mei=Maeda kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=3 ORCID= en-aut-name=YoshinobuKimura en-aut-sei=Yoshinobu en-aut-mei=Kimura kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=4 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil=Department of Biofunctional Chemistry, Graduate School of Environmental and Life Science , Okayama University kn-affil= affil-num=2 en-affil=Department of Biofunctional Chemistry, Graduate School of Environmental and Life Science , Okayama University kn-affil= affil-num=3 en-affil=Department of Biofunctional Chemistry, Graduate School of Environmental and Life Science , Okayama University kn-affil= affil-num=4 en-affil=Department of Biofunctional Chemistry, Graduate School of Environmental and Life Science , Okayama University kn-affil= en-keyword=Phyllostachys edulis kn-keyword=Phyllostachys edulis en-keyword=antigenic N-glycans kn-keyword=antigenic N-glycans en-keyword=bamboo shoot kn-keyword=bamboo shoot en-keyword=plant N-glycans kn-keyword=plant N-glycans en-keyword=plant glycoproteins kn-keyword=plant glycoproteins END
