Schematic diagram of Le. amazonensis LPG structures of promastigotes from PH8 and Josefa strains. The repeat units contain the Gal(β1,4)Man(α1)-PO4 as backbone structure. For PH8 strain, the LPG bears sugar branch substitutions of one or two β-glucose residues, while in Josefa strain most of the side chains are terminated in β-galactoses. The precise locations of the sugar side chains in the repeat unit domain are not known
