Abstract
The structure of the PC-glycan of the major excretory-secretory produc t (ES-62) of Acanthocheilonema viteae has been investigated using endo glycosidases 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 bac terial PC-containing glycans.
