The structure of the PC-glycan of the major excretory-secretory product (ES-62) of Acanthocheilonema viteae has been investigated using endoglycosidases and lectins. Results obtained raise the possibility that it may be of the high mannose type. This, and the insensitivity of the PC-glycan to treatments which remove PC or choline from bacterial PC-glycans, suggests that it may be more analogous to fungal, than to bacterial PC-containing glycans.
Résumé
La structure de la PC-glycane du principal produit excrétant-secrétant (ES-62) de Acanthocheilonema vitae a été étudié grâce à l'utilisation d'endoglycosidases et de lectines. Les résultats obtenus développent la possibilité qu'elle pourrait être du type mannose. Cette hypothèse et l'insensibilité de la PC-glycane aux traitements séparant la PC ou la choline des PC-glycanes bactériennes, suggèrent que cette structure serait plus proche des PC-glycanes fongiques que bactériennes.
