Currently, monosaccharides and ohgosacchandes are satrsfactonly separated by paper, ion-exchange, thm-layer and gel Ntratton chromatography, however the methods are t~e-consummg Hugh-performance hqurd chromatography (HPLC) using a column of porous mrcropartrcles denvatrzed wrth ammo groups allows a rapid separation of sugars I5 Since 1980, the HPLC on bonded pnmary amme packings of sugars denved from glycoprotem glycans have been descnhed fractronatton of ohgosaccharides and glycopeptrdes excreted m the urme of patients wrth lysosomial disease@; separations of ohgosacchandes obtained by drgestton wtth endoglycosrdase H’ or released by &ehmmatron of 0-glycosyiprotem* g, ohgosacchandes denved from dohchol-linked ohgosacchande mtermedtates’” Finally, clear separations of staloglycopeptrdes or ohgosacchandes have been obtamed m less than 1 h by HPLC on a Micropak AX-10 ron-exchange column” The present report shows that bonded pnmary amme packings are effecttve m the raprd separation of the mixture of neutral glycans hberated by hydrazmolysts of a hen ovomucord neutral glycopeptrde MATERIALS

NOTES

The use of a 0 4 x 25 cm column filled with srlica gel modtied by organic amines provides quantitative recovery (92 “4) of the ohgosacchzridcs wrthout loss of resolution_ Each fraction was analysed by TLC (Fig. 2) and the carbohydrate composition was deter-mu& by GLC (Table II). Four fractions (1, 7, 11 and 14) are homogeneous on the basis of HPLC and TLC and of the monosaccharide molar composition_ The latter is characterized by the absence of the presence in low amounts of galactose and by the relatrve high content of N-acetylglucosamme. Of interest is the ratio (N-acetylglucosamine + N-acetylglucosanumtol)/mannose, I e , (GlcNAc + GlcNAc-ol)/Man, the value of which is related to the number of Nacetylglucosamine branches on the mannose residues_The linuting values are 1.35 and 2.7 in the case of classical biantennary structures such as human serum transferTin” ,md of pentaantennary structuressuch as turtle-dove ovomucoid”, respectively. CONCLUSIONS
HPLC on bonded primary amine packings gives excellent fractionahon cf a
