L-[3H]fucose was injected intravitreally into rabbits that were killed from 1 hr to 28 days after injection. The vitreous bodies were processsed for radiometric techniques, and electrophoresis follwed by fluorgraphy. Unbound [3H]fucose remained at a high level up to 1 day, whereas the peak of [3H]fucose bound to glycoproteins was observed at 3 days after injection with a continuous decrease afterwards. The turnover rate of vitreous glycoproteins were estimated at 4.37% per day and their turnover time of 22.85 days. Electrophoresis and fluorgraphy combined revealed about 14 bands of glycoproteins with fucose residues and ther were strong indications of differences in turnover rate among individual glycoproteins. The most prominent band in the Coomassie blue-stained gels was the one having a molecular weight of 69 kDa and it was not labeled with [3H]gucose. This band was tentatively identified as serum albumin. On the other hand, the 14 bands labeled with [3H]fucose were glycoproteins originating from within the eye, that is, they are intrinsic constituents of the vitreous body.
