Abstract
An agglutinin that has high affinity for GalNAcbeta1-->, was isolated from seeds of Wistaria sinensis by adsorption to immobilized mild acid-treated hog gastric mucin on Sepharose 4B matrix and elution with aqueous 0.2 M lactose. The binding property of this lectin was characterized by quantitative precipitin assay (QPA) and by inhibition of biotinylated lectin-glycan interaction. Of the 37 glycoforms tested by QPA, this agglutinin reacted best with a GalNAcbeta1-->4 containing glycoprotein (GP) [Tamm-Horsfall Sd(a+) GP]; a Galbeta1-->4GlcNAc containing GP (human blood group precursor glycoprotein from ovarian cyst fluid and asialo human alpha1-acid GP) and a GalNAcalpha1-->3GalNAc containing GP (asialo bird nest GP), but poorly or not at all with most sialic acid containing glycoproteins. Among the oligosaccharides tested, GalNAcalpha1-->3GalNAcbeta1-->3Galalpha1-->4Galbeta 1-->4Glc (Fp) was the most active ligand. It was as active as GalNAc and two to 11 times more active than Tn cluster mixtures, Galbeta1--> 3/4GlcNAc (I/II), GalNAcalpha1-->3(L-Fucalpha1-->2)Gal (Ah), Galbeta1-->4Glc (L), Galbeta1-->3GalNAc (T) and Galalpha1--> 3Galalpha-->methyl (B). Of the monosaccharides and their glycosides tested, p-nitrophenyl betaGalNAc was the best inhibitor; it was approximately 1.7 and 2.5 times more potent than its corresponding alpha anomer and GalNAc (or Fp), respectively. GalNAc was 53.3 times more active than Gal. From the present observations, it can be concluded that the Wistaria agglutinin (WSA) binds to the C-3, C-4 and C-6 positions of GalNAc and Gal residues; the N-acetyl group at C-2 enhances its binding dramatically. The combining site of WSA for GalNAc related ligands is most likely of a shallow type, able to recognize both alpha and beta anomers of GalNAc. Gal ligands must be Galbeta1-->3/4GlcNAc related, in which subterminal beta1-->3/4 GlcNAc contributes significantly to binding; hydrophobicity is important for binding of the beta anomer of Gal. The decreasing order of the affinity of WSA for mammalian structural carbohydrate units is Fp >/= multi-II > monomeric II >/= Tn, I and Ah >/= E and L > T > Gal.

Abstract
The binding properties of Pseudomonas aeruginosa agglutinin-I (PA-IL) with glycoproteins (gps) and polysaccharides were studied by both the biotin/avidin-mediated microtiter plate lectin-binding assay and the inhibition of agglutinin-glycan interaction with sugar ligands. Among 36 glycans tested for binding, PA-IL reacted best with two glycoproteins containing Galalpha1-->4Gal determinants and a human blood group ABO precursor equivalent gp, but this lectin reacted weakly or not at all with A and H active gps or sialylated gps. Among the mammalian disaccharides tested by the inhibition assay, the human blood group Pkactive Galalpha1-->4Gal, was the best. It was 7.4-fold less active than melibiose (Galalpha1-->6Glc). PA-IL has a preference for the alpha-anomer in decreasing order as follows: Galalpha1-->6 >Galalpha1-->4 >Galalpha1-->3. Of the monosaccharides studied, the phenylbeta derivatives of Gal were much better inhibitors than the methylbeta derivative, while only an insignificant difference was found between the Galalpha anomer of methyl- and p -NO2-phenyl derivatives. From these results, it can be concluded that the combining size of the agglutinin is as large as a disaccharide of the alpha-anomer of Gal at nonreducing end and most complementary to Galalpha1-->6Glc. As for the combining site of PA-IL toward the beta-anomer, the size is assumed to be less than that of Gal; carbon-6 in the pyranose form is essential, and hydrophobic interaction is important for binding.

Abstract
The carbohydrate binding specificity of the basic lectin from winged bean (Psophocarpus tetragonolobus) was investigated by quantitative precipitin analysis using blood group A, B, H, Le and I substances and by precipitation inhibition with various mono- and oligosaccharides. The lectin precipitated best with A1 substances and moderately with B and A2 substances, but not with H or Le substances. Inhibition assays of lectin-blood group A1 precipitation demonstration that A substance-derived oligosaccharides having the common structure: D-GalNAc alpha(1----3)D-Gal-(beta 1----3/4) to a D-Glc, were the best inhibitors and about 8 and 4 times more active than D-GalNAc and D-GalNAc alpha(1----3)D-Gal, respectively. A difucosyl A-specific oligosaccharide (A-penta), a monofucosyl (A-tetra) and a non-fucosyl containing (A5II) oligosaccharide, D-GalNAc alpha(1----3)D-Gal beta(1----3)D-GlcNAc, had almost the same reactivity, suggesting that the fucose linked to the sub-terminal D-Gal or to the third sugar. D-GlcNAc, from the non-reducing end made no contribution to the carbohydrate binding. Although a terminal non-reducing D-GalNAc or D-Gal residue was indispensible for binding, the lectin bound not only to these terminal non-reducing galactopyranosyl residues, but also showed increased binding to oligosaccharides in which it was bonded to a sub-terminal D-Gal joined to a D-GlcNAc residue, as in blood group A or B substances. This defines the site, thus far, as complementary to a disaccharide plus the beta linkage to the third sugar (D-Glc or D-GlcNAc) from the non-reducing end. The role of the beta(1----3) or beta(1----4) linkage of the sub-terminal non-reducing D-Gal to the D-GlcNAc requires further study.

Abstract
The combining site of Ricinus communis agglutinin (RCA1) was studied by quantitative precipitin and precipitin inhibition assays. Of 31 complex carbohydrates tested, all except active and inactive antifreeze glycoproteins, Streptococcus group C polysaccharide, and native rat salivary glycoprotein, reacted strongly, and 22 completely precipitated the lectin, indicating that RCA1 has both a broad range of affinity and a low solubility of its carbohydrate-bound complex. Of the monosaccharides and glycosides tested for inhibition of precipitation, p-nitrophenyl beta-D-galactopyranoside was the best. It was about 6.4 times better than methyl beta-D-galactopyranoside. The beta anomer of glycosides of D-galactose was much more potent than the corresponding alpha anomer. Among the oligosaccharides tested, beta-D-Galp-(1----4)-beta-D-GlcpNAc-(1----6)-D-Gal was the best inhibitor, which was approximately 2/3 as active as p-nitrophenyl beta-D-galactopyranoside. It was approximately 1.4 times as active as beta-D-Gal-(1----4)-D-GlcNAc (N-acetyllactosamine), twice as active as beta-D-Gal-(1----3)-D-GlcNAc, and 4.5 times more active than lacto-N-tetraose. From the results, it can be concluded that; (a) hydrophobic interaction is important for binding; (b) the combining site of this lectin is at least as large as a trisaccharide; and (c) of the compounds studied, the trisaccharide beta-D-Galp-(1----4)-beta-D-GlcpNAc-(1----6)-D-Gal was the most complementary to the human blood group I Ma determinant beta-D-Galp-(1----4)-beta-D-GlcpNAc-(1----6)-D-Gal.

Abstract
The combining site of the lima bean (Phaseolus lunatus) lectin (LBL) was studied by quantitative precipitin and precipitin-inhibition assays. The lectin precipitated best with hog gastric mucosa and human ovarian cyst blood group A1 substances and moderately with A2 substances. B substances precipitated very poorly and H, Lea, Leb, and precursor I substances did not react. Blood group A1 and A2 substances reacted to varying extents and these differences are attributable to heterogeneity resulting from incomplete biosynthesis of carbohydrate chains. By inhibition of precipitation of LBL with A1 blood group substance, the lectin was found to be most specific for fucose-containing oligosaccharides having the A trisaccharide, DGalNAc alpha 1----3[L-Fuc alpha 1----2]DGal determinant. The best inhibitor, an A-specific hexasaccharide, DGalNAc alpha 1----3[LFuc alpha 1----2]DGal beta 1----3DGlcNAc beta 1----3-DGal beta 1----4DGlc, was 11 times more active than the A trisaccharide. A difucosyl oligosaccharide with a second fucose linked alpha 1----3 to the DGlcNAc is less active; fucose linked alpha 1----4 to DGlcNAc was completely inactive. These results suggest that specific interactions with the subterminal sugars may be important in the binding, and that the specificity of the lectin combining site involves at least the nonreducing terminal four and probably five sugars of the hexasaccharide. Thus LBL has a more-extended binding site than was inferred previously and is in the upper range of antibody combining-site sizes.

Abstract
Human blood-group A active glycoproteins from ovarian-cyst fluid were subjected to Smith degradation and subsequent beta-elimination. The resulting oligosaccharide-alditols represent the core and backbone domains of the O-linked carbohydrate chains. Nine of these, ranging in size from disaccharides to hexasaccharides, were investigated by 1H-NMR spectroscopy. Their primary structures could be adequately characterized. In particular, the core types, i.e. the substitution patterns of N-acetylgalactosaminitol (GalNAc-ol) as well as the types of backbone, i.e. the linkage types of alternating Gal-GlcNAc sequences, were unambiguously identified. The core type GlcNAc beta(1-3)GalNAc-ol is described for the first time as occurring in ovarian-cyst glycoprotein.

Abstract
Glycoproteins were extracted from meconium samples of group O neonates of secretor type by pronase digestion followed by precipitation in 67% aqueous ethanol and separated into Ii antigen enriched and depleted fractions by affinity chromatography. The latter fraction strongly expressed the oncofoetal antigens recognised by natural antibodies in mouse sera and the hybridoma antibody FC 10.2, and this activity was enhanced after mild acid hydrolysis to remove sialic acid and fucose residues. Oligosaccharides were released from the mild-acid-treated fraction by base-borohydride degradation and purified by gel permeation chromatography on Bio-Gel P4 and high performance liquid chromatography on octadecylsilyl and aminopropylsilyl columns. The major oligosaccharides were characterised by fast atom bombardment and electron impact mass spectrometry, combined gas-liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry and 500-MHz proton NMR spectroscopy. Their structures, in order of abundance, were: (Formula: see text).

Abstract
Pig and rat colon mucosal membrane preparations catalyze the in vitro transfer of N-acetyl-D-glucosamine (GlcNAc) from UDP-GlcNAc to GalNAc-ovine submaxillary mucin to form GlcNAc beta 1-3GalNAc-mucin. Rat colon also catalyzes the in vitro transfer of GlcNAc from UDP-GlcNAc to GlcNAc beta 1-3GalNAc-mucin to form GlcNAc beta 1-3(GlcNAc beta 1-6) GalNAc-mucin. This is the first demonstration of in vitro synthesis of the GlcNAc beta 1-3GalNAc disaccharide and of the GlcNAc beta 1-3-(GlcNAc beta 1-6)GalNAc trisaccharide, two of the four major core types found in mammalian glycoproteins of the mucin type, i.e., those containing oligosaccharides with GalNAc-alpha-serine (threonine) linkages. The activity catalyzing synthesis of the disaccharide has been named UDP-GlcNAc:GalNAc-R beta 3-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase (mucin core 3 beta 3-GlcNAc-transferase), while the activity responsible for synthesizing the trisaccharide has been named UDP-GlcNAc:GlcNAc beta 1-3GalNAc-R (GlcNAc to GalNAc) beta 6-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase (mucin core 4 beta 6-GlcNAc-transferase). The beta 3-GlcNAc-transferase from pig colon is activated by Triton X-100, has an absolute requirement for Mn2+, and transfers GlcNAc to GalNAc-alpha-phenyl, GalNAc-alpha-benzyl, and GalNAc-ovine submaxillary mucin with apparent Km values of 5, 2, and 3 mM and Vmax values of 59, 62, and 37 nmol h-1 (mg of protein)-1, respectively.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
Extracts of BHK (baby hamster kidney) cells catalyse incorporation of galactose from UDP-galactose into asialo bovine submaxillary gland mucin. The galactosylated oligosaccharide products were released by alkaline-borohydride treatment and purified by Bio-Gel P2 chromatography and high-performance liquid chromatography. The structures of the oligosaccharide sequences synthesised have been identified unequivocally by high resolution 500 MHz 1H-NMR as galactosyl-(beta 1----3) N-acetylgalactosamine and galactosyl (beta 1----4) N-acetylglucosaminyl (beta 1----3)-N-acetylgalactosamine. Characterization of the latter sequence shows the presence in bovine mucin of the type III core sequence N-acetylglucosamine-(beta 1----3) N-acetylgalactosamine. Fractionation of BHK cell extracts on alpha-lactalbumin-Agarose has shown that the (beta 1----4)-galactosyl transferase responsible for synthesis of the trisaccharide binds to alpha-lactalbumin, a modulator of the (beta 1----4)-galactosyl transferase involved in N-glycan assembly. The evidence that the same transferase activity may be responsible for galactose transfer to both O-glycans and N-glycans is discussed.

Abstract
Oligosaccharides, which are O- and N-glycosidically linked on salivary glycoproteins from the edible bird's nest of chinese swallows, were released by alkaline borohydride treatment of the asialoglycoproteins and fractionated by gel chromatography. Fract. VN1 (oligosaccharides greater than 2 000 dalton) apparently represented a mixture of saccharides derived from complex, N-glycosidically linked glycans (molar ratio Man/GlcNAc/Gal 3:4:8), while fractions VN2 (tetra- to hexasaccharides), VN3 (trisaccharide) and VN4 (disaccharide) were free of mannose, but did contain all the N-acetylgalactosamine released from the protein as its alditol. Oligosaccharides in Fract. VN2 and VN4 were purified by high-performance liquid chromatography, paper chromatography and thin-layer chromatography, methylated and analysed after total or partial acid hydrolysis by gas-liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. The structures of a hexasaccharide in Fract. VN2/6 and of a tetrasaccharide in fraction VN2/4 were finally established after methylation through direct-probe mass spectrometry: Gal(1----4)GlcNAc(1----3)Gal(1----4)GlcNAc(1----3)Gal(1----3)GalNAc- ol and Gal(1----4)GlcNAc(1----6)[Gal(1----3)]GalNAc-ol. Mass spectrometrical and gas-chromatographical data obtained for a disaccharide in Fract. VN4 were identical with those for Gal(beta 1----3)GalNAc-ol.

Abstract
Human gastrointestinal glycoproteins (mucins), isolated by pepsin digestion from foetal stomachs and meconia, and from paired tumour and non-neoplastic mucosal samples of patients with gastric and colorectal carcinomas, were tested for precipitating reactions with peanut lectin (PNL) and four anti-carbohydrate antibodies (two anti-I, Ma and Low, and two anti-i, Den and Galli). There was remarkable correlation between reactivities with PNL and anti-I (Ma): both reagents reacted with non-neoplastic gastric glycoproteins of "non-secretors", but not with those of "secretors", and also with the majority of gastric tumour and meconium extracts regardless of secretor status. Colorectal tissue extracts (with the exception of one tumour extract) reacted with neither reagent. The various precipitating activities, and results of mild acid hydrolysis and affinity chromatography experiments, enable certain inferences to be made regarding the oligosaccharide moieties of gastrointestinal glycoproteins: (a) expression of PNL and anti-I (Ma) determinants in gastric glycoproteins is dependent on secretor status; (b) extracts reacting with PNL and anti-I (Ma) are mixtures of macromolecules: minor populations react with both reagents, or with PNL only; the major population lacks both determinants, or they are masked by other substitutions; (c) determinants reactive with anti-Ii sera other than anti-I (Ma) are less frequently expressed; and (d) colonic glycoproteins in their lack of PNL and Ii determinants. This suggests that there are structural differences in the oligosaccharide backbones of the two types of glycoprotein.

The mucus, obtained by the instillation of intestine with 2M NaCl, was fractionated on Bio-Gel A-50 in the presence of 6M urea and the mucus glycoprotein free of noncovalently bound protein was isolated. A portion of the purified glycoprotein was subjected to Pronase digestion to yield glycopeptides. The native mucus, and the purified glycoprotein and glycopeptides were extracted with chloroform-methanol, and the lipids contained in the extracts were analyzed. The lipids accounted for 17.6 of the dry weight of mucus, 26.4 of the mucus glycoprotein, and 25.3% of the glycopeptides. In comparison to mucus, the lipids associated with mucus glycoprotein contained 1.9 times more phospholipids and 2.1 times more glycolipids, showed a 26% increase in neutral lipids, and were virtually free of glycosphingolipids. Treatment of the purified glycoprotein with Pronase led to a moderate (22.3%) loss in neutral lipids, 4.3-fold decrease in phospholipids, and 52.3% increase in glyceroglucolipids. The results indicate that while the interaction of mucus glycoprotein with phospholipids involves its Pronase-susceptible region, the interaction with glyceroglucolipids occurs in the glycosylated region of the glycoprotein that is resistant to proteolysis.

Abstract
The carbohydrate composition of 14 human, small-intestine mucins, obtained at surgery or post-mortem, varied greatly from specimen to specimen with respect to individual sugars and average chain-length (ratio of total carbohydrate to N-acetylgalactosamine). Three monosaccharides, galactose, N-acetylglucosamine, and fucose gave good correlations with each other, and to total carbohydrate content, when expressed as a ratio to the chain-terminal N-acetylgalactosamine residue. In contrast, sialic acid gave a good correlation only with N-acetylgalactosamine. In eight specimens the molar sulfate to N-acetylgalactosamine ratios gave good correlation with the ratios of galactose to N-acetylgalactosamine, N-acetylglucosamine to N-acetylgalactosamine, and total carbohydrate to N-acetylgalactosamine. These results indicate that the intraspecies variability of intestinal-mucin carbohydrates arises from the interdependent addition of galactose, N-acetylglucosamine, fucose, and sulfate residues. Partial correlation-analysis indicated that proportions of N-acetylglucosamine and fucose were correlated only through a mutual dependence on galactose, suggesting that the key elongating-factors involve the addition of galactose residues. The number of sialic acid residues per oligosaccharide chain remained relatively unchanged from mucin to mucin, and this, coupled with the close correlation between the proportions of sialic acid and N-acetylgalactosamine, suggests that almost all sialic acid residues are bound to the core N-acetylgalactosamine residues in intestinal mucin. High fucose-to-sialic acid and high sulfate-to-sialic acid ratios reported in some disease states are explained as the consequence of chain elongation.

Abstract
Human milk beta-N-acetylglucosaminide beta 1 leads to 4-galactosyltransferase (EC 2.4.1.38) was used to galactosylate ovine submaxillary asialomucin to saturation. The major [14C]galactosylated product chain was obtained as a reduced oligosaccharide by beta-elimination under reducing conditions. Analysis by Bio-Gel filtration and gas-liquid chromatography indicated that this compound was a tetrasaccharide composed of galactose, N-acetylglucosamine and reduced N-acetylgalactosamine in a molar ratio of 2:0.9:0.8. Periodate oxidation studies before and after mild acid hydrolysis in addition to thin-layer chromatography revealed that the most probable structure of the tetrasaccharide is Gal beta 1 leads to 3([14C]Gal beta 1 leads to 4GlcNAc beta 1 leads to 6)GalNAcol. Thus it appears that Gal beta 1 leads to 3(GlcNAc beta 1 leads to 6)GalNAc units occur as minor chains on the asialomucin. The potential interference of these chains in the assay of alpha-N-acetylgalactosaminylprotein beta 1 leads to 3-galactosyltransferase activity using ovine submaxillary asialomucin as an acceptor can be counteracted by the addition of N-acetylglucosamine.

Abstract
Two glycopeptide fractions were obtained from pseudomyxomatous mucins secreted by an ovarian cystadenocarcinoma from a female having blood-group B, and by an appendix tumor from a male having blood-group O. The carbohydrate and amino acid content of these fractions suggests the presence of numerous carbohydrate side-chains linked through O-glycosyl bonds to a peptide core rich in threonine and proline. The two glycopeptide fractions exhibit compatible B- and H-blood-group activities. They are reactive towards Dolichos biflorus lectin and human anti-A agglutinins, and so exhibit an incompatible A activity. Alkali-borohydride degradation of Pronase-digested glycopeptides gave dialyzable oligosaccharides that were purified and shown to possess 2-acetamido-2-deoxygalactitol at the terminal reducing-end. 2-Acetamido-2-deoxyglucose, galactose, fucose, and neuraminic acid were absent, or present, in variable proportions. Four oligosaccharides containing 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-D-galactose residues were reactive towards Dolichos biflorus lectin and human anti-A agglutinins, indicating the presence, at the nonreducing end, of a 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-alpha-D-galactopyranosyl group, responsible for blood-group A activity.

Abstract
In such a bird's eye view of a very complicated and complex literature it is inevitable that significant contributions, particularly from earlier investigators, will have been overlooked. We have tried, however, to provide a reasonable framework for the many presentations and discussions which will take place at this conference. As in the past, it is evident that much needs to be done to reconcile the excellent histochemical studies of gastrointestinal mucus in many diseases with the increasing knowledge of mucin structure and composition. This will only be achieved by extraction of highly pure mucin from diseased bowel. In this regard, post mortem material provides an opportunity for mucin researchers which is not available to workers in other fields because of relative freedom from decomposition. The wedding of mucin technology with immunology is also a major priority. Immunoassay techniques provide the answer to quick and accurate product identification in secretion studies. Specific monoclonal antibodies will provide the route to structural differentiation of antigens in complex mixtures. It is also evident that we must seek to develop a variety of controllable models for the study of functional parameters of mucus in physiological conditions, parasite rejection, neoplasia and inflammatory states. Promising initiatives have been touched upon in this review, but these must only be the beginning. One must conclude, however, by recognizing that advances in knowledge have been truly remarkable since the last conference in 1976. One senses that some of the keys which will one day unlock the gates of this "ill-defined" kingdom are already in hand, while the remainder are at least within reach.

Abstract
Labeled leucine, serine, galactose, glucosamine, fucose, and sulfate were administered to rat stomachs in a vascular perfusion system. Sections of gastric fundus and antrum, and of the duodenal glands, were studied by light-microscopic autoradiography. The rate of incorporation of radioactive label in the various mucous cell types of the antrum and of the duodenal glands was measured by counting the silver grains over each cell type and comparing this rate with that of the surface mucous cells of the fundus. The following major observations were made: The patterns of incorporation in the mucous cells on the surface and in the pits of the antrum did not differ essentially from those of the surface mucous cells of the fundus. On the contrary, the incorporation patterns of the surface mucous cells of the fundus differed considerably from those of the mucous cells of the antral glands and from the mucous cells of the duodenal glands. The mucous cells of the antral glands showed a lower incorporation rate of amino acids and of (amino) sugars, especially of galactose and glucosamine, but a higher incorporation rate of sulfate. The mucous cells of the duodenal glands showed a considerably higher rate of incorporation for serine, but a lower rate for glucosamine. No differences were seen for leucine, galactose, and sulfate. The relatively low synthetic activity of the mucous cells of antral glands correlates well with the various amounts of RER, Golgi system, and secretory granules, found in these cells, and with the histochemical staining characteristics of their mucous granules. The mucous cells of the duodenal glands are characterized by typical parallel arrays of their numerous RER cisternae and by a low number of small secretory granules.

Abstract
Immunochemical and chemical studies were used to monitor and evaluate the structural changes produced by an enzyme from Turbo cornutus in periodate-oxidized and Smith-degraded, human blood-group substances from ovarian cysts. After the first step of periodate oxidation and Smith degradation, two blood-group substances, JS (HLeb and N-1 (Lea), were precipitated by mouse-myeloma S117 serum, specific for terminal, nonreducing, beta-D-linked 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-D-glucosyl groups, but not by type XIV antipneumococcal horse serum specific for terminal, nonreducing, beta-D-linked D-galactosyl groups. An exoglycosidase, 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-beta-D-hexosidase (beta-N-acetylhexosaminidase) from Turbo cornutus, split off 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-D-glucose amounting to 22.5 and 20.4% of the total weight of JS and N-1 blood-group substances, respectively. After enzymic digestion, both blood-group substances precipitated with type XIV serum, and did not precipitate with S117 serum. The findings are in agreement with the structure propsed for the water-soluble, blood-group substances [Lloyd and Kabat, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A., 61 (1968) 1477]. Specific enzymes can be of value in structural studies when used in conjunction with sequential periodate oxidation and Smith degradation.

Abstract
Employing a modified technique of acetolysis, which allows almost a complete recovery of constituent sugars from poly(glycosyl)ceramides, the glycolipids were found to contain an excess of N-acetylglucosamine over galactose. On the basis of Smith degradation, methylation study, chromium trioxide degradation and the structures of oligosaccharides released from the glycolipids by partial acid hydrolysis, the presence of two types of sugar sequences has been established in poly(glycosyl)ceramides: a) Galbeta1 leads to 4GlcNAcbeta1 leads to 6Gal3 comes from R1 b) Galbeta1 leads to 4GlcNAcbeta1 leads to 4GlcNAc1 leads to R2. The repeating unit of poly(glycosyl)ceramides seems to be the GlcNAcbeta1 leads to 3Gal sequence. The specificity of one anti-I serum (Woj) is directed against the non-reducing ending of the first kind of chain. Three other anti-I sera reacted with inner portions of the oligosaccharide chains of the glycolipids.

Abstract
The specificity of Bandeiraea simplicifolia lectin I (BS I) has been studied by competitive-binding assays (CBA) using tritium-labeled human B and hog A substances. Blood-group B substances isolated from horse gastric mucosae and from human ovarian-cyst fluids were much better inhibitors of binding of tritiated blood-group B substance to insoluble BS I-Sepharose 2B than were human blood-group A substances from saliva and ovarian-cyst fluid. A and B active blood-group substances showed the same range of potency in inhibiting binding of tritium-labeled hog A substance to BS I-Sepharose 2B. CBA with BS I-Sepharose 2B, labeled human blood-group B substance, and human blood-group A and B active aligosaccharides separated the haptens into two groups differing in slope. Group 1, containing methyl alpha-D-GalNAcp, D-GalNAcp, and an A active pentasaccharide ARL 0.52, with 3, 19, and 25 nmol respectively needed for 50% inhibition of binding, has a lower slope than group 2, which contains alpha-D-GalNAcp-(1 leads to 3)-2-acetamido-2-deoxy-D-galactitol and p-nitrophenyl alpha-D-GalNAcp, with 3 nmol of each required for 50% inhibition of binding, as well as ten glycosides with terminal, nonreducing, alpha-linked D-Galp. The most potent inhibitors of this group were p-nitrophenyl alpha-D-Galp, alpha-D-Galp-(1 leads to 3)-D-Galp, alpha-D-Galp-(1 leads to 6)-D-Glcp, and methyl alpha-D-Galp, with 5, 7.4, 9.6, and 11 nmol respectively needed to inhibit binding by 50%. The difference in slopes was explainable in terms of a recent finding that BS I exists as a mixture of five isolectins composed of two subunits having different specificities; subunit A is most specific for alpha-linked, terminal, nonreducing D-GalNAcp, but it also reacts with alpha-linked, terminal, nonreducing D-Galp, whereas subunit B tends to be more specific for terminal, nonreducing, alpha-linked D-Galp.

Abstract
Glycoproteins derived from intestinal mucus were isolated by phenol-water extraction of feces from germ-free rats. The water-soluble glycoproteins were subjected to alkaline-borohydride degradation, and three different oligosaccharide alditols were isolated. The structures of thse were determined by using methylation analysis and n.m.r. spectroscopy as the principal methods. One disaccharide alditol and one trisaccharide alditol were characterised as beta-D-GlcNAcp-(1 leads to 3)-D-GalNAcol and alpha-L-Fucp-(1 leads to 2)-beta-D-Galp-(1 leads to 3)-D-GalNAcol. The third oligosaccharide alditol was a blood-group A-active tetrasaccharide alditol for which the structure alpha-D-GalNAcp-(1 leads to 3)-[alpha-L-Fucp-(1 leads to 2)]-beta-D-Galp-(1 leads to 3)-D-GalNAcol is proposed.

Abstract
Twenty individual higher reduced oligosaccharides, having from seven to eleven monosaccharide units, were isolated after sodium borohydride degradation of blood-group substance H from pig stomach linings. Anion-exchange high-pressure liquid chromatography appears to be a very convenient and effective method for this kind of higher oligosaccharide mixtures separation. The oligosaccharide structures were determined by means of periodate oxidation, methylation analysis, partial acid and enzymic hydrolysis. It has been found that all the oligosaccharides investigated can be divided into four series. The oligosaccharides belonging to each series have the common oligosaccharide fragment to which terminal L-fucose and/or N-acetyl-D-glucosamine residues are attached. Comparison of all the oligosaccharide structures, including tri, penta and hexasaccharides described earlier, shows that the lower oligosaccharides represent the structural element of the higher oligosaccharides.
