CHONDROITIN, A NEW MUCOPOLYSACCHARIDE

New Methods in the Diagnosis of Mucopolysaccharide

This is a review article regarding the new types of Mucopolysacharidose disease and re­lated diagnostic tests. Recently has been found that Hurler's and Scheie's diseases are due to the deficiency of Alpha-Iduronidase and San­filippo's disease is due to Heparan-N-Sulphatase and N-Acetyl-Alpha-D-Glucosaminidase defici­ency. 

Study on Extraction of Mucopolysaccharide-protein Containing Chondroitin Sulfate from Chicken Keel Cartilage

The objective of this study was to investigate technical methods for extraction of mucopolysachharide-protein containing chondroitin sulfate from keel cartilage of chickens. The chemical composition of chicken keel cartilage was determined. For the preparation of mucopolysaccharide-protein from lyophilized chicken keel cartilage, hot water extraction and alcalase hydrolysis methods were examine...

A Mucopolysaccharide Containing Hpdroxyproline from Corn Pericarp*

A plant proteinpolysaccharide complex extracted from corn (zea mays) pericarp with 15% trichloracetic acid contains hydroxyproline as a significant constituent of its protein or polypeptide moiety. Hydroxyproline, serine, and threonine, present in nearly equimolar amounts, constitute one-third of the amino acid residues. The polysaccharide portion of this material contains glucose in major amou...

Mucopolysaccharide Sulfation in Leukocytes 727

Mucopolysaccharide sulfation was demonstrated in leukemic granulocytic precursors in short-term suspension culture by incorporation of SO4 into a compound identified chromatographically as chondroitin sulfate. The gel filtration pattern of sulfated mucopolysaccharide obtained from leukemic leukocytes was qualitatively similar to that found with normal granulocytic precursors. Sulfation of mucop...
