title: Changes in monosaccharide content of mucous glycoproteins in ulcerative colitis.
abstract: Colonic mucus appears to consist of two glycoprotein fractions, one of which contains mannose, whereas the other is mannose-free. The mannose-containing fraction is significantly increased in ulcerative colitis.
