Popis: A tetrasaccharide consisting of 2 moles sialic acid, 1 mole galactose, and 1 mole N-acetylgalactosaminol was isolated from MM, NN, and MN blood group substances subsequent to degradation with alkaline sodium borohydride. Upon removal of sialic acid with bacterial or viral sialidases, a disaccharide, galactosyl-N-acetylgalactosaminol, was obtained. Periodate oxidation studies suggested that the two sialic acid residues are linked to galactose and N-acetylgalactosaminol, respectively. A tentative structure is proposed.
