title: Preparation and examination of the oligosaccharides of serum alpha 1-antitrypsin PiZ.
abstract: Oligosaccharides were prepared from serum alpha 1-antitrypsin, PiM and PiZ, by hydrazinolysis and reacetylation with [3H]acetic anhydride. A comparison by gel permeation chromatography indicated that the two variants contain the same kinds of complex oligosaccharides. Specifically, serum PiZ does not contain mannose-rich oligosaccharides in spite of the presence of mannose-rich oligosaccharides in liver PiZ.
