Blood group A substance derived from human ovarian cyst fluid has been sequentially hydrotyzed under mild conditions (pH 1.9 to 1.6 for 2 hr. at 100). The dialyzable components were fractionated on charcoal, paper and glass fiber sheets to yield three disaccharides and a trisaccharide. By analysis before and after reduction with sodium borohydride, periodate oxidation and optical rotation these compounds were shown to be:(1) aN-acetylgalactosaminoyl-(1— 3) galactose,(2) ß-galactosyl-(l—* 3)-N-acetylglucosamine,(3) 0-galactosyl-(1— 4)-N-acetylglucosamine and (4)«-N-acetylgalactosaminoyl-(1-* 3)-/3-galactosyl-(1—* 3)-N-acetylglucosamine. The trisaccharide was shown to be more active in inhibition of A-anti-A precipitation than the most active disaccharide previously reported and is probably the first three units of the blood group A antigenic determinant.Earlier studies have shown that of the four monosaccharide units found in blood group A substance, only N-acetylgalactosamine was capable of inhibiting the hemagglutination of A redcells by anti-A, 2 the precipitation of anti-A by A sub-stance8 and the enzymatic inactivation4 of blood group A substance. 5 From these observations it was inferred that N-acetylgalactosamine was the terminal non-reducing unit in an A specific oligo-saccharide determinant. The isolation of aN-acetylgalactosaminoyl-(l—*· 3)-galactose from a partial acid hydrolysate (0.1 N HC1 for 3 hr. or 1 N HC1 for 0.5 hr. at 100) of blood group A substance6 and the report7 that it specifically inhibited hemag-glutination of A erythrocytes by anti-A at a much lower concentration than does a-methyl-N-acetyl-galactosaminide strongly suggests that this com-pound represents the first two sugar units from the non-reducing end of the A specific determinant. Earlier studies from this Laboratory haveshown that milderhydrolytic conditions (£ H 1.5 to 2.0 for 2 hr. at 100 8) cleave active groupings from blood group A and B substances leaving a non-dialyzable residue, PI. The mildness of the hydrolytic conditions can be inferred from these observed proper-ties of thePI fraction:(1) non-dialyzability and alcohol precipitability,(2) increased cross-reactivity with horse type XIV anti-pneumoccocal sera as compared to the original bloodgroup substance,(3) ability to produce circulating precipitins in humans following immunization. 9 These mild
