title: Identification of a glycophorin-like molecule at the cell surface of rat thymocytes.
abstract: There are three predominant glycoproteins in the rat thymocyte plasma membrane. Two of these have carbohydrate compositions that are characteristic of structures N-glycosidically linked to protein. The other glycoprotein is very different, having about 20 O-glycosidically linked carbohydrate units per 100 amino acids. It has similarities to the major sialoglycoprotein of human erythrocytes.
