13. Outer Chain Assembly Sequential action of  4GalT and  3GlcNAcT gives rise to polylactosamine chains (Type II repeats) Type I repeats (Gal  3GlcNAc  3) also occur GlcNAc  6Gal branches (I-antigen) can occur The ends of the chains are capped in  - linked sugars, e.g.  3/4Fuc and  3/6sialic acids Terminal structures make up important blood group determinants, e.g. the Lewis antigens 44 33 44 33 44 33 33 33 Ser/Thr 33 66 
