Abstract
Purified DNA encoding .alpha.(1,3)fucosyltransferase and the recombinant proteins expressed from such DNA are disclosed. The recombinant fucosyltransferase polypeptides are used to fucosylate proteins to produce therapeutics useful for the treatment of disease, e.g., an adverse immune reaction such as septiciemia or septic shock.
