TL;DR: The structure of the major antigenic glycolipid from human peripheral nerve was determined by chemical and enzymatic degradation, incorporation studies, sugar analysis after permethylation, pertrimethylsilylation, and gas liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry techniques as well as fast atom bombardment-mass Spectrometry of the native antigen.

TL;DR: An acidic glycolipid antigen that reacts with monoclonal IgM in patients with demyelinating neuropathy and with the mouse monOClonal antibody, HNK-1, was purified from human peripheral nerves and suggested the following structure with a sulfate in a position that remains to be determined.

TL;DR: The analysis of phosphatidylcholine and sphingomyelin present in the lipid extracts from animal tissues, blood and amniotic fluids were made without interference from other phospholipids or ultraviolet-absorbing material.

TL;DR: A convenient method for the separation of molecular species of phosphatidylcholine by reversed-phase high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) is described, finding the average HCN to be remarkably the same for all the three different naturally occurring sources considering a wide variety of different fatty acid compositions of each type.

TL;DR: The differential hydrophobic interaction observed between the ligand of the stationary phase and different alkyl chains of the sphingomyelin species illustrates that reversed-phase HPLC technique can be conveniently used to study the extent of relative hydrophobicity of different types of alkyal chains.
