Density gradient equilibrium ultracentrifugation has been used successfully to isolate the glycoproteins from human gastric juice and saliva. Analysis of the fractions obtained by this method has shown that blood-group substance glycoproteins are the major component of glycoprotein secretion in both gastric juice and saliva. The technique also separates intrinsic factor and the nonspecific B12-binding substance from the blood-group substance glycoproteins in gastric juice. The nonspecific B12-binding substances in both gastric juice and saliva have a similar density and appear to consist of a single family of molecules.
