The most abundant surface glycoconjugate of the Leishmania promastigotes is lipophosphoglycan, a glycosylphosphatidyl-inositol-anchored polymer of the repeating disaccharide-phosphate Gal(beta1,4)Manalpha1-PO4 unit. This complex molecule possesses properties that contribute to the ability of Leishmania to modulate macrophage signaling pathways during the initiation of infection.
