Recovery of oxygen linked oligosaccharides from mammal glycoproteins

摘要

The present invention provides a method of recovering O-linked oligosaccharides from a macromolecule, the method comprising the steps: exposing the macromolecule to an alkaline agent to release O-linked olisaccharides from the macromolecule; separating the released oligosaccharide from the macromolecule; and recovering the oligosaccharide.
