- A novel application of selected ion monitoring was used for a mixture of non-acid glycosphingolipids of one rabbit small intestine. Earlier studies of permethylated and permethylated-reduced (LiAIH4) derivatives of model compounds have revealed a specificity and abundance of saccharide ions (terminal monosaccharide(s), disaccharide, trisaccharide, etc., and all sugars plus fatty acid) and of ceramide fragments that permit a conclusive detection of separate glycolipid species in a mixture. The sample (50-200 micrograms) was evaporated slowly (1-5 degrees C min-1 from 150-350 degrees C) from the direct inlet probe of an MS 902 mass spectrometer (electron ionization). Mass spectra with fragments up to about m/z 200 were collected on-line by a computer system. A successive partial separation was obtained for glycolipids with from one up to seven sugars. The structures of eight different compounds were identified. They all had 16:0, 22:0 and 24:0 2-hydroxy fatty acids and 18:0 trihydroxy base (phytosphingosine) as major ceramide components. The dominating complex glycolipid was a hexaglycosylceramide with a blood group B type of sequence. A blood group A type sequence was found in a second hexaglycosylceramide. In support of this, the native mixture showed blood group A and B activity. An intense peak, m/z 182, collected from methylated derivatives were evidence for a dominating type 2 carbohydrate chain of the core tetrasaccharide.

- After electrophoresis of an alkaline extract of type 15 group A streptococci, three main precipitation lines were obtained in diffusion experiments against commercial human polyclonal IgG (lines 1, 2 and 3). Nineteen of 23 sera (83%) from apparently healthy human individuals gave line 3, while 6 of them (26%) gave line 1. The sera giving line 1 did also give line 3. Line 2 was obtained with 2 sera only, also giving lines 1 and 3. Line 3 was caused by a streptococcal Fc-receptor for human IgG, since the line could be displaced by addition of Fc-fragments, but not Fab-fragments of pooled human IgG. Line 1 was shown to be different from line 3, since (1) line 1 was suppressed in contrast to line 3 on absorption of a human serum or commercial polyclonal human IgG with S. aureus; and (2), line 1 was suppressed by Fab-fragments but not Fc-fragments of polyclonal human IgG. Line 2 could be inhibited by addition of peptidoglycan to commercial polyclonal human IgG or a human serum investigated. Another line, 4, obtained in diffusion experiments involving electrophoretically separated alkaline extract of type 15 group A streptococci was type-specific as shown by rabbit antisera to streptococci type M1, M8, M15, and T44, and disappeared on trypsinization of the extract. The component responsible for line 4 in the streptococcal extract, judged to be type-specific M protein, had a mobility different from the component responsible for line 3 in electrophoresis.

- Lancefield extracts of 19 types of group A streptococci as well as one group C and one group G strain were examined for agglutination of human red cells coated with various anti-Rh antibodies. Fourteen extracts agglutinated one or more of the coated cell samples, while five did not. The agglutination was inhibited by Fc but not by Fab fragments of human IgG. After mouse passages, three of the non-agglutinating strains acquired agglutinating capacity. At least three different reactivities were distinguished by the action of the extracts on IgG1 and IgG3 coated cells, respectively. Two of the streptococcal extracts, agglutinating the same anti-Rh coated cells, could be further differentiated in hemagglutination inhibition (HAI) experiments using purified IgG3 myeloma proteins. Five selected agglutinating systems were inhibited by purified myeloma proteins of the IgG1, IgG2, and IgG4 subclasses. IgG3 proteins inhibited only two of the five HAI systems.
