Abstract Structures of the Asn linked oligosaccharides of quail egg-yolk immunoglobulin (IgY) were determined in this study. Asn linked oligosaccharides were cleaved from IgY by hydrazinolysis and labelled withp-aminobenzoic acid ethyl ester (ABEE) afterN-acetylation. The ABEE labelled oligosaccharides were then fractionated by a combination of Concanavalin A-agarose column chromatography and anion exchange, normal phase and reversed phase HPLC before their structures were determined by sequential exoglycosidase digestion, methylation analysis, HPLC, and 500 MHz1H-NMR spectroscopy. Quail IgY contained only neutral oligosaccharides of the following categories: the glucosylated oligomannose type (0.6%, Glcα1-3Glcα1-3Man9GlcNAc2; 35.6%, Glcα1-3Man7–9GlcNAc2). oligomannose type (15.0%, with the structure Man5–9GlcNAc2) and biantennary complex type with core structures of-Manα1-3(-Manα1-6)Manβ1-4GlcNAcβ1-4GlcNAc (9.9%),-Manα1-3(GlcNAcβ1-4)(-Manα1-6)Manβ1-4GlcNAcβ1-4GlcNAc (25.1%) and-Manα1-3(GlcNAcβ1-4)(-Manα1-6)Manβ1-4GlcNAcβ1-4(Fucα1-6)GlcNAc (11.4%). Although never found in mammalian proteins, glucosylated oligosaccharides (Glc1Man7–9GlcNAc2) have been located previously in hen IgY.
