✦ Synopsis
The structures of two minor oligosaccharides isolated from human milk have been investigated. By using f.a.b.-mass spectrometry, methylation analysis, and partial formolysis as the principal methods of structural investigation, these oligosaccharides were identified as IV2-alpha-Fuc-III6-alpha-NeuAc-LcOse4 and IV3-alpha-NeuAc-III4-alpha-Fuc-LcOse4. This latter oligosaccharide has been recently found to be the carbohydrate moiety of a ganglioside isolated from a colorectal carcinoma cell-line (see ref. 12).

The monosialyated oligosaccharide fraction from combined samples of human milk was fractionated by gel filtration, ion-exchange chromatography, and h.p.l.c. with triethylamine as an ion-pairing reagent. Among the twelve oligosaccharides isolated, three were new compounds for which the following stru
