[Study of amino monosaccharides by thermoionic detection in gas-liquid chromatography. Application to a pyroglobulin IgM (author's transl)].

The monosaccharides of proteic samples liberated by methanolysis and submitted to trimethylsilylation by the trimethylsilylimidazole (TSIM) are determined by gas-liquid chromatography. The neutral sugars are detected in simple flame ionization (FID) and the amino sugars identified separatively by the use of a thermoionic detector (TID) which responds selectively to nitrogenous and phosphorated compounds. The method described has been tested on standard mixtures of monosaccharides and on a well known glycoprotein : the uromucoid. Then it has been applied to a pyroglobulin IgM (mu2, chi2).
