Mucus glycoproteins (mucins) were extracted from human cervical pregnancy mucus by 6M-guanidinium chloride in the presence of proteinase inhibitors. Purification was subsequently achieved by isopycnic density-gradient centrifugation in CsCl/guanidinium chloride gradients. The purified macromolecules represented .apprx. 85% of the total and were devoid of nucleic acids and proteins, as judged by analytical density-gradient centrifugation, disc electrophoresis and UV spectroscopy. Sedimentation-velocity centrifugation revealed centrifugation revealed a single unimodal peak with s20,w 50.1S in 0.2 M-NaCl and 37.0S in 6M-guanidinium chloride. MW obtained by light-scattering were 9.7 .times. 106 and 5.9 .times. 106 in 0.2 M-NaCl and 6 M-guanidinium chloride, respectively. The chemical analyses were typical of those of epithelial mucins. The macromolecules contained .apprx. 20% (w/w [wt/wt]) of protein, and 65% (w/w) was accounted for as carbohydrate. Serine and threonine constituted 32 mol/100 mol and proline 10 mol/100 mol of the amino acids. The major sugars found were N-acetylglucosamine (12.8%), N-acetylgalactosamine (9.7%), galactose (18.7%), sialic acid (15.0%) and fucose (7.5%).
