Thin-layer chromatography

TL;DR: The procedure is shown to be sensitive, linear, reproducible and to compare well with conventional methods for the determination of plasma lipid classes.

TL;DR: These compounds are nearly identical with the oligosaccharides stored in human GM1 gangliosidosis liver but they differ from the human compounds uniquely since they contain 2 GlcNAc residues at the reducing terminus instead of 1, suggesting that there may be significant differences in glycoprotein metabolism or structure between mammalian species.
