title: High performance thin layer chromatography of neutral and acidic glycolipids: application to the chemical diagnosis of lipid storage diseases.
abstract: A new technique was utilized for the separation of neutral and acidic glycolipids using an equipment named U-Chamber System. This technique was employed for the chemical diagnosis of inherited inborn errors diseases in which complex glycolipids are involved. Results in the identification of storage products in Tay-Sachs' disease, GM1 gangliosidosis and Fabry's disease are presented.
