Abstract
1. 1. The accessibility of specific carbohydrate residues on the surfaces of intact bovine and human milk fat globules has been compared by means of a lectin-based agglutination assay. 2. 2. The presence of galactose, mannose and/or glucose and N- acetyl- d- glucosamine , but not fucose was detectable on both bovine and human globules. 3. 3. The major differences between bovine and human milk fat globules were firstly, the presence on human globules of high amounts of Arachis hypogaea receptor, none of which was apparently masked by sialic acid and secondly, the presence of unsubstituted N- acetyl- d- galactosamine on bovine but not on human milk fat globules.
