Abstract
1. A glycolipid, designated globoside was isolated from Iyophilyzed human blood stroma.
2. Gooboside contained chondrosamine instead of hemataminic acid.
FIG. 4. Absorption curves of carbazole reaction with various mixtures of glucose and galactose. (I) Pure glucose. (II) Glucose 3, galactose 1. (III) Glucose 1, galactose 1. (IV) Glucose 1, galactose 3. (V) Pure galactose.
FIG. 5. Ratio of extinctions at 540mμ and 440mμ in the absorption curves of Fig. 4.
FIG. 6. Absorption curves with globoside (A) and hematosidc (B).
3. Glucose was found in both globoside and hematoside but its content was much smaller than that of galactose.
4. The probable structure of globoside was proposed.
