Abstract
The glycosylation of murine C4 (Ss protein) synthesized by peritoneal macrophages has been investigated. Both the intracellular precursor, P-C4 (185), and the C4 alpha- and beta-chains that were secreted into medium were found to be glycosylated; however, no carbohydrate units were detected on the gamma-chain. Analyses of the oligosaccharide units showed that P-C4 (185) appears to contain both a "complex" and a "high mannose" carbohydrate group, the alpha-chain a "complex" group and the beta-chain a "high mannose" carbohydrate unit.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
