Presence of high molecular weight glycans on the surface of germ and embryonic cells of Xenopus laevis.

???displayArticle.abstract???
Xenopus laevis male germ cells, fertilized eggs and gastrula cells were labelled with 3H labelled sodium borohydride reduction after galactose oxidase treatment. After pronase digestion, the bulk of the label is carried by high molecular weight glycans (greater than or equal to 6,000 D). The high molecular weight of these labelled glycans and their susceptibility to degradation by endo-beta-galactosidase suggest that they may be related to the polylactosaminoglycans.
