Abstract Colonic mucoprotein antigen (CMA), a high-molecularweight, tissue-specific mucin, was obtained from 9 normal mucosal samples and 12 colonic adenocarcinomas. Purification was achieved by means of phenol:water extraction followed by ethanol precipitation and molecular sieve chromatography. Chemical analyses of the individual normal CMA preparations indicated similar qualitative and quantitative compositions. The peptide portion of the molecule was characterized by a high content of threonine, serine, proline, glutamic acid, and glycine. The oligosaccharide chains were composed of N -glycolyineuraminic acid, fucose, galactose, glucosamine, and galactosamine. A comparison of the normal and tumor CMA revealed the following differences. Although the amino acid compositions were similar, tumor CMA9s had 40% less threonine and 40% more aspartic acid than did CMA9s from normal tissue. Both observations were statistically significant at 2 p p
