Abstract: Synthesis of the glycan part of Forssman glycolipid GalNAcα1-3GalNAcβ1-3Galα1-4Galβ1-4Glc–Cer in the form of 2-aminoethyl glycoside has been carried out. The glycoside has been converted into a lipophilic derivative capable of controlled inserting into erythrocytes. The obtained surface-modified cells, termed kodecytes, revealed a high level of the blood group system FORS serological activity.
