Abstract The fully characterization of tumor associated antigens (TAAs) and of tumor associated carbohydrate antigens (TACAs) have opened the avenue of cancer immunotherapy. The intrinsic poor immunogenicity of TACAs, however, spotlighted the importance of multivalent presentation of the antigen(s) to trigger an immune response. Nanoparticles are excellent scaffolds for this purpose. Here we reported on the easy glycosylation of iron-based and biocompatible dextran-based nanoparticles with 1, a mimetic of the TnThr antigen. The multivalent presentation of 1 induced the induction of TNF-α and IL-6/IL10, respectively. The multivalent glycosylation of silica nanoparticles (GSiNPs) was also performed and saccharide loading qualitative assessed by solid state NMR. Our results offer the proof of concept that biomolecules coating can also be investigated on solid system by NMR.

Solid-state NMR spectroscopy is an established experimental technique which is used for the characterization of structural and dynamic properties of materials in their native state. Many types of solid-state NMR experiments have been used to characterize both lithium-based and sodium-based solid polymer and polymer–ceramic hybrid electrolyte materials. This review describes several solid-state NMR experiments that are commonly employed in the analysis of these systems: pulse field gradient NMR, electrophoretic NMR, variable temperature T1 relaxation, T2 relaxation and linewidth analysis, exchange spectroscopy, cross polarization, Rotational Echo Double Resonance, and isotope enrichment. In this review, each technique is introduced with a short description of the pulse sequence, and examples of experiments that have been performed in real solid-state polymer and/or hybrid electrolyte systems are provided. The results and conclusions of these experiments are discussed to inform readers of the strengths and weaknesses of each technique when applied to polymer and hybrid electrolyte systems. It is anticipated that this review may be used to aid in the selection of solid-state NMR experiments for the analysis of these systems.

A series of dodecyl 1-thio-β-D-glycosides has been synthesized and characterized (DSC, NMR, CP MAS, X-ray diffraction) as possible new marking materials with liquid-crystalline properties. These compounds undergo solid to liquid crystal phase transitions at various temperatures, which depend on the nature of the carbohydrate part of the structure. Their liquid-crystalline phases show extreme shear thinning behaviour.Key words: liquid crystal, powder X-ray diffraction, phase transition, thioglycoside, solid-state NMR, marking material
