by agglutination studies of erythrocytes with various set-ups of these antigens as well as by inhibition studies using synthetic saccharide derivatives and by coating non-agglutinable erythrocytes with a synthetic glycolipid , the minimal receptor structure was identified as the alpha-d-galp- ( 1-4 ) -beta-d-galp moiety of the carbohydrate portion of these glycosphingolipids .
