- A haemagglutinating monoclonal anti-LebL antibody has been obtained from a mouse-mouse hybridoma after immunization with the Leb-active oligosaccharide lacto-N-difucohexaose I, coupled to edestin. Of 13 other antibodies obtained, one was able to agglutinate enzyme-treated erythrocytes of all ABO groups and three more were considered to be anti-LebH haemagglutinins. The remaining nine antibodies did not agglutinate red cells. The specificity of the stronger of the anti-LebL haemagglutinins was examined by studying its binding to a number of glycoconjugates and oligosaccharides.

- Abdominal trauma occurring in persons older than 60 years over a 30-year period (1950-79) in a well defined region of Sweden was reviewed. The 177 patients comprised 12.5% of the total with abdominal trauma during that period. Road traffic accidents were the main cause of trauma (48% of cases). The incidence of motor-car accidents rose sharply during the first two decades of the study. Injuries to the liver and bile ducts and multiple intra-abdominal injuries were more common in the elderly than in younger patients, but injury to the abdominal wall was less common. A tendency towards more severe injuries and multiple trauma with extra-abdominal involvement emerged during the study period. The mortality rate was 27.6% in the patients older than 60, but 9.1% in the overall patient series with abdominal trauma. One-third of all the deaths among the older patients were directly due to the abdominal trauma. One consequence of the increasing numbers of old people in the general population is probably that more and more cases of abdominal trauma will be seen in the higher age groups.

- Total non-acid glycolipid fractions have been isolated from GMK AH-1 cells grown in fetal calf serum and in horse serum. For comparison, glycolipids were also prepared from green monkey (Cercopithecus aetiops) kidney and from fetal calf serum. The major glycolipids from GMK AH-1 cells grown in fetal calf serum were isolated by silicic acid column chromatography and preparative thin-layer chromatography. These fractions were characterized mainly by thin-layer chromatography, mass spectrometry and gas chromatography. The structures of the glycolipids isolated were proposed as: Glc1 leads to 1Cer, Gal1 leads to 1Cer, Gal1 leads to 4Glc1 leads to 1Cer, Gal1 leads to 4Gal1 leads to 4Glc1 leads to 1Cer, GalNAcl leads to 3Gal1 leads to 4Gal1 leads 4Glc1 leads to 1Cer. In addition, a novel pentaglycosylceramide with the probable structure Ga1 beta 1 leads to 3GalNAc beta 1 leads to Gal alpha 1 leads to 4Gal beta 1 leads to 4Glc beta 1 leads to 1Cer was also present. THe ceramides contained mainly dihydroxy 18:1 long-chain base in combination with non-hydroxy 16:0-24:0 fatty acids. Small amounts of trihydroxy 18:0 long-chain base and hydroxy 22:0-24:0 fatty acids were also present in the mono- and diglycosylceramide fractions. The glycolipid patterns of GMK AH-1 cells grown in fetal calf serum or horse serum were identical. The pentaglycosylceramide present in the cultured cells could not be detected with certainty in the kidney tissue. The uptake of this glycolipid from the culture medium is unlikely as it seems to be lacking in calf serum.

- The total non-acid glycosphingolipids were isolated from the small intestine of cat, cod-fish, guinea-pig, hen, mouse, rabbit, and two strains of rat. The samples were analyzed by thin-layer chromatography and mass spectrometry and for immunological activity. Mass spectrometry of permethylated and LiAlH4-reduced permethylated derivatives allowed the interpretation of the structures (carbohydrate sequence and ceramide composition) of up to 9 glycolipid species in one mixture. The interpretation was facilitated by a temperature programming of the direct inlet probe, leading to a successive evaporation of glycolipid species mainly according to the number of sugars. The structures concluded could in most cases be assigned to the separate bands revealed by thin-layer chromatography. Antigenic determinants proposed by the spectra were settled by immunological analysis. Thus, Forssman glycolipid was identified in cat, guinea-pig, hen and mouse, blood group A glycolipids in cat, rabbit, and rat and blood group B glycolipids in rabbit and rat. No Lewis activity was found. Certain ceramide types were demonstrated to exist preferentially in some glycolipids. Globoside and Forssman glycolipids (globo series) had a less hydroxylated ceramide (one free hydroxyl) compared to most fucolipids and other glycolipids (two or three hydroxyls). In conclusion, glycolipid patterns of intestine vary between species, and individuals of the same species.

- A polar non-acid glycolipid fraction has been isolated from human kidney. It was shown by thin-layer chromatography to be a mixture of glycolipids having more than four carbohydrate residues. Immunological testing revealed strong blood group Lea and A activity together with weak Leb, P1 and B activity. Mass spectrometry of the permethylated and permethylated-reduced (LiAlH4) glycolipid fraction showed that the two major components were a five sugar fucolipid (isomer of Lea) and a glycolipid having four hexoses and one N-acetylhexosamine. In addition, blood group Leb, B and A type hexaglycosylceramides were present. Evidence for small amounts of more complex glycolipids was also found. Acid degradation and gas chromatography of the native fraction revealed fucose, glucose, galactose, N-acetylglucosamine and N-acetylgalactosamine. This is the first chemical isolation and characterization of complex blood group active glycolipids in human kidney. The existence of these molecules is discussed in view of their possible role as transplantation antigens.

- A blood group H type pentaglycosylceramide was isolated in relatively large amounts from human adult small intestine (52 mg from one individual) and human meconium (fetal origin). The structure was made likely by mass spectrometry and NMR spectroscopy of non-degraded permethylated and permethylated-LiAlH4-reduced glycolipid and by degradation to be Fuc alpha 1 leads to 2Gal beta 1 leads to 3GlcNAc beta 1 leads to 3Gal beta 1 leads to 4Glc beta 1 leads to 1Cer. The ceramide was composed mainly of phytosphingosine and 2-hydroxy 16-24 carbon fatty acids. This novel type 1 chain species (Gal beta 1 leads to 3GlcNAc) was not accompanied by the type 2 chain isomer (Gal beta 1 leads to 4GlcNAc) which in contrast is the sole species in human erythrocyte and dog small intestine.
