title: Methylation analysis of the major gangliosides of the human alimentary mucosa.
abstract: The five major gangliosides of the human alimentary mucosa were purified with silicic acid column chromatography and with thin-layer chromatography. The linkages in the carbohydrate portion were analysed by permethylation with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. A succesful analysis of the linkages of two hematosides and three tetraglycosylceramides was performed. Two of the tetraglycosylamides had a galactosamine in their chain and one had a glucosamine.
