    Abstract:
    The structure of five sulfated oligosaccharide units of highly anionic tracheobronchial mucous glycoproteins, isolated from a cystic fibrosis patient's sputum, were established. Reduced oligosaccharides (84%) were released under alkaline borohydride conditions, and the acidic oligosaccharides (63%) were isolated by Dowex 1-X2 chromatography. Following the removal of acidic oligosaccharides possessing N-acetylneuraminic acid and L-fucose by lectin affinity chromatography a heterogeneous mixture of sulfated oligosaccharides was obtained. From this fraction, five short chain monosulfated oligosaccharides (S-I to S-V) were purified by sequential separation by SynChroprep AX300 anion exchange high pressure liquid chromatography, gel filtration on Bio-Gel P-2, and high voltage paper electrophoresis. Based on the results of carbohydrate composition, sequential exoglycosidase degradation, permethylation analysis, lectin affinity chromatography, and periodate oxidation, the following structures (where GalNAcol is N-acetylgalactosaminitol) were proposed for these oligosaccharides.
