The composition of claim 1 where Z comprises galactose, galactosamine, N-acetylgalactosamine, glucose, glucosamine or N-acetylglucosamine. 3. The composition of claim 2, wherein Z is the beta anomer. 4. The composition of claim 2 comprising Z conjugated at its C1, C2 or C6 to Y. 5. The composition of claim 1 where Y is prepared using a linker precursor selected from N-hydroxysuccinamidyl-based linkers, malaemide-based linkers, vinylsulfone-based linkers, pyridyl di-thiol-poly(ethylene glycol)-based linkers, pyridyl di-thiol-based linkers, n-nitrophenyl carbonate-based linkers, NHS-ester-based linkers, and nitrophenoxy poly(ethylene glycol)ester-based linkers. 6. The composition of claim 1, wherein X is a synthetic self-antigen and the unwanted immune response is an autoimmune response. 7. The composition of claim 1, wherein X is selected from the group consisting of myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein, myelin proteolipid protein, and myelin basic protein and wherein the unwanted immune response is associated with multiple sclerosis. 8.

The composition of claim 1, wherein X is a therapeutic agent selected from the group consisting of Factor VIII and Factor IX. 10. The composition of claim 1, wherein X is a therapeutic agent selected from the group consisting of asparaginase and uricase. 11.
