LC-ESI/MS of the oligosaccharides obtained from the total nonacid glycosphingolipid fraction of human blood group O(Rh−)P stomach by hydrolysis with endoglycoceramidase II from Rhodococcus spp.
A, base peak chromatogram from LC-ESI/MS of the oligosaccharides obtained from human stomach blood group O(Rh−)P. B, MS2 of the ion at m/z 852 (retention time 15.5 min). C, MS2 of the ion at m/z 852 (retention time 15.9 min). D, MS2 of the ion at m/z 852 (retention time 20.1 min). E, interpretation formulas showing the deduced oligosaccharide sequences. The identification of oligosaccharides was based on their retention times, determined molecular masses, and subsequent MS2 sequencing. The oligosaccharides identified in the chromatograms were Galα4Galβ4Glc (Gb3), GalNAcβ3Galα4Galβ4Glc (Gb4), Galβ4(Fucα3)GlcNAcβ3Galβ4Glc (Lex-5), Galβ3(Fucα4)GlcNAcβ3Galβ4Glc (Lea-5), Fucα2Galβ4(Fucα3)GlcNAcβ3Galβ4Glc (Ley-6), Galβ4GlcNAcβ3Galβ4Glc (nLc4); Fucα2Galβ4GlcNAcβ3Galβ4Glc (H5-2), GalNAcβ3Galβ4GlcNAcβ3Galβ4Glc (x2), Galβ4GlcNAcβ3Galβ4GlcNAcβ3Galβ4Glc (nLc6), and Fucα2Galβ4GlcNAcβ3Galβ4GlcNAcβ3Galβ4Glc (H7-2).
