Abstract:
1. An isolated polypeptide, which comprises two sequences, chosen from the group consisting of: a) the amino acid sequence GPLWSNXEAQXXGPX (SEQ ID NO: 1) separated by about 6-15 amino acids from the amino acid sequence FTGQWXTXVEXXMSV (SEQ ID NO: 2); b) SEQ ID NO: 1 separated by about 6-15 amino acids from an active variant of SEQ ID NO: 2; c) an active variant of SEQ ID NO:1 separated by about 6-15 amino from SEQ ID NO: 2, wherein the polypeptide binds specifically to an oligosaccharide comprising the tetrasaccharide Man-alpha-(1→6)Man-beta (1→4) GlcNAc-beta(1→4)GlcNAc, provided that the polypeptide does not comprise SEQ ID NO: 3.
