Abstract
The investigation of oligosaccharides obtained from the blood group-active glycolipid fractions indicated the presence of rather long carbohydrate chain.
The following structures were proposed :
H-active glycolipid :
α-Fuc- (1→2) -β-Gal- (1→4) -β-GNAc- (1→3) -β-Gal-(1→4)-β-GNAc-(1→3)-β-Gal-(1→4)-Glc-ceramide
A-active glycolipid :
α-GalNAc-(1→3)-β-Gal-(1→4)-β-GNAc-(1→3) -β-Gal-(1→4)-β-GNAc-(1→3)-β-Gal-(1→4)-Glc-ceramide
_??_
α-Fuc
B-active glycolipid :
α-Gal- (1→3) -β-Gal- (1→4) -β-GNAc-(1→3)-β-Gal -(1→4)-β-GNAc-(1→3)-β-Gal-(1→4)-Glc-ceramide
_??_
α-Fuc
