Abstract
XYLOSE has not previously been identified in the prosthetic groups of human mucopolysaccharides and glycoproteins from urine and serum, although the monosaccharides galactose, mannose and fucose do occur. Our work has now shown, however, that xylose can always be found in the glycoproteins isolated from the urine of patients with inflammatory processes, tumours, plasmacytomas and, indeed, from normal persons.
