A method for efficient synthesis of oligosaccharides containing rhamnose rings was developed. The chemistry is flexible and could be used for the synthesis of other PGLs antigens. A biotinylated PGL-1 antigen  was synthesized and could be used as a probe for early detection of leprosy.</p>  a1520-6904
