| Abstract: | The specific capsular polysaccharide of type 46 Streptococcus pneumoniae (American type 73) was isolated in pure form and shown to be a high-molecular-weight, glycosidically linked polymer composed of d-galactose (2 mol), N-acetyl-d-glucosamine (1 mol), N-acetyl-d-galactosamine (1 mol), and N-acetyl-l-fucosamine (1 mol). |
