This paper describes the finding that galactosyltransferase from bovine milk is able to utilise UDP-Glc to transfer Glc onto GlcNAc and chitooligomers [–b-GlcNAc-(1–4)–]n, n = 2–4. In this work four novel oligosaccharides were prepared in good yield; all compounds were carefully characterized by the NMR and MS spectra and chiroptical methods. This work also demonstrated for the first time the ability of galactosyltransferase to transfer glucose on a semipreparatory scale. b-Glucosylated products were used in binding studies with NKR-P1A protein cloned from rat natural killer cells. In this corrigendum we now report that the data on the NKRP1A protein binding to the carbohydrates cannot be reproduced (cf.
