Abstract

The activities of α-2-l-fucosyltransferase and α-3-l-fucosyltransferase were measured in human platelets and leucocytes from normal donors, α-2-l-Fucosyltransferase was found in platelets but not in leucocytes. In contrast α-3-l-fucosyltransferase was not detected in platelets but was present in leucocytes where it was demonstrated in the neutrophil, monocyte and lymphocyte fractions.
