A radioimmunoassay is described that allows rapid determination of a urinary oligosaccharide -- Glc alpha 1-6Glc alpha 1-4Glc alpha 1-4Glc [(Glc)4] -- at concentrations greater than 2 pmol/microliter. Antibodies produced in rabbits immunized with the phenethylamine derivative of (Glc)4 coupled

Binding of a human urinary tetrasaccharide (Glc alpha 1-6Glc alpha 1-4Glc alpha 1-4Glc) by a mouse monoclonal antibody, 61.1, shows an unusually large dependence upon temperature. Association constants determined by equilibrium dialysis double for each 8 degrees C downward shift
Increased urinary excretion of a glycogen-derived tetrasaccharide in heterozygotes with glycogen storage diseases type II and III.
Patients with glycogen storage disease type II (GSD II) typically excrete increased amounts of a glycogen-derived glucose tetrasaccharide, Glcalpha1-6Glcalpha1-4Glcalpha1-4Glc (Glc(4)), in the urine. With the advent of a new enzyme replacement therapy for GSD II, there is a need for
