Abstract Neutrophils were examined for their ability to recognize and ingest beads coated with amino-derivatives of glucose, mannose, and galactose. Radioactive or fluorescent beads coated with any of the three sugars were ingested to an extent three times that observed with albumin- coated beads. Enhancement of ingestion of sugar-coated beads was much more evident when examined by electron micrographic studies. Inclusion of glucose or mannose in the medium with glucose- or mannose-coated beads caused a dose-dependent reduction of ingestion to control levels, but ingestion of galactose-coated beads was poorly inhibited. Similarly, galactose or fucose (6-deoxy-galactose) markedly inhibited ingestion of galactose-coated beads, but caused only a slight decrease in ingestion of glucose- or mannose-coated beads. Thus, neutrophils possess carbohydrate-binding membrane structures that can mediate recognition and ingestion of sugar-coated beads. Such carbohydrate recognition systems may underlie certain interactions of neutrophils and other surfaces.

Sulphurous acid alone and in admixture with other stronger acids has been used to hydrolyse 5-amino, 5-N-cyclohexylamino, and 5-N-piperidino derivatives of 5-deoxy-l,2-O-isopropylidene-D-xylose. The bisulphite addition compounds of the corresponding amino sugars were thus isolated. Similarly, methyl 5-amino-5-deoxy- 2,3-O-isopropylidene-D-riboside was hydrolysed to yield the bisulphite addition compound of 5-amino-5-deoxy-D-ribose. Treatment of the bisulphite addition compound of 5-amino-5-deoxy-D-xylose with barium hydroxide gave the free amino sugar as a syrup in 96% yield. Removal of bisulphite from the addition compound of 5-X-cyclohexylamino-5-deoxy-D-xylose gave the free sugar in 30% yield together with an amino acid (XVI).
