Abstract

A blood group A glycosphingolipid with the globo-series structure has been isolated from human kidney and structurally characterized. The structure was shown by mass spectrometry and proton NMR spectroscopy of the intact permethylated and permethylated-reduced derivatives together with degradation studies to be, GalNAc alpha 1----3Gal(2----1 alpha Fuc)beta 1----3GalNAc beta 1----3Gal alpha 1----4Gal beta 1----4Glc beta 1----1 Ceramide. This glycolipid reacts with both polyclonal and monoclonal anti-A blood group typing antisera and it is the major glycolipid based blood group A antigen present in the human kidney.
