title: Purification method for alpha-1-acid glycoprotein with subsequent high-performance liquid chromatographic determination of monosaccharides in plasma of healthy subjects and patients with renal insufficiency.
abstract: A simple purification method for human plasma alpha-1-acid glycoprotein (AAG) using an ion-exchange and hydroxyapatite column was developed. The recovery of the method was found to be high. We also improved a determination method for N-acetylneuraminic acid and monosaccharides in the carbohydrate moiety of AAG by using an ion-exchange column and pulse-amperometric detection. By this method, a composition analysis of the carbohydrate moiety of AAG (N-acetylneuraminic acid, fucose, N-acetyl glucosamine, galactose and mannose) was possible with 1.0 ml of plasma. We compared these carbohydrate concentrations in the AAG of patients with renal insufficiency with those of healthy subjects. In the AAG of the patients, the concentrations of N-acetylglucosamine, galactose and mannose were significantly higher than those in the AAG of the healthy subjects.
