Abstract
High-mannose oligosaccharides are commonly associated with the glycoproteins of most living organisms, and a variety of techniques are available for determining the relative amounts of high-mannose and complex oligosaccharides (1–4). The high-mannose chains of mammalian glycoproteins are often comprised of a series of oligosaccharides having the composition Man5–8GlcNAc2 (Man5–8). Although the relative amounts of each class of high-mannose oligosaccharide (i.e., Man5, Man6, and so on) have been examined during processing of some glycoproteins, relatively little work on the high-mannose “profile” of mature glycoproteins has been carried out.
