TABLE 1.

Monosaccharide composition of T. vaginalis lipoglycan from this and previous reports

Percentages are expressed as mol % of total monosaccharide.

	Glucosea	Galactose	GlcNAc	GalNAc	Rhamnose	Xylose
Bastida-Corcuera et al. (25)	6.0	18.9	33.0	2.3	23.4	16.5b
Fichorova et al. (26)	2.5	10.3	38.7	2.5	30.8	15.2
This work	2.1 ± 1.3	28.8 ± 5.3	30.9 ± 8.1	Tracec	25.7 ± 4.4	12.4 ± 2.0

^a Glucose is considered a common environmental contaminant and may not be a genuine component of TvLG.

^b The assay used was unable to differentiate between xylose and mannose.

^c GalNAc was only detected once in nine assays at 0.6%.
