Ultrasensitive quantification of dextran sulfate by a mix-and-read fluorescent probe assay [PDF]
Dextran sulfate is semi-synthetic, polydisperse sulfated polysaccharide with important applications in clinical practice, in the manufacturing of plasma derived protein therapeutics and in biomedical research. The sensitive detection of dextran sulfate is relevant to preclinical and clinical drug development projects, the quality control of ...

Molecular cloning and sequence analysis of a chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan cDNA.
We report the identification and DNA sequence of a chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan core protein cDNA. A cDNA clone, pPG1, was selected from a rat yolk sac tumor poly(A)+RNA-derived cDNA library by using synthetic oligonucleotides predicted from the NH2 ...

Mast cell carboxypeptidase A, a secretory granule component [PDF]
Mast cells are highly granulated cells of the immune system that upon stimulation release a number of inflammatory mediators including heparin and/or chondroitin sulphate (CS) proteoglycan (PG) and various heparin-binding proteases such as tryptase ...

Quantification of sulfated polysaccharides in mouse and rat plasma by the Heparin Red mix-and-read fluorescence assay [PDF]
Sulfated polysaccharides constitute a large and complex group of macromolecules which possess a wide range of important biological properties. Many of them hold promise as new therapeutics, but determination of their blood levels during pharmacokinetic studies can be challenging.

A clone of natural killer (NK) cells (JTB18) was found to be ultrastructurally similar to peripheral blood large granular lymphocytes (LGL). These cells incorporated [35S]sulfate into cell- associated proteoglycan molecules, which were then isolated by ...

Extracellular matrix alterations in the Peyronie’s disease
Peyronie’s disease is characterized by fibrous plaque formation of the tunica albuginea, causing penile deformity and fertility problems. The aim of the present study was to investigate alterations in the extracellular matrix in Peyronie’s disease.

Detection of Proteoglycan Loss from Articular Cartilage using Brillouin Microscopy, with Applications to Osteoarthritis [PDF]
The degeneration of articular cartilage (AC) occurs in osteoarthritis (OA), which is a leading cause of pain and disability in middle-aged and older people. The early disease related changes in cartilage extra-cellular matrix (ECM) start with depletion of proteoglycan(PG), leading to an increase in tissue hydration and permeability.

As a first step to elucidating the role of the Ia-associated chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan (CSPG) in the biology of the Ia antigens, we have studied several aspects of the interactions of the CSPG with the Ia/invariant chain glycoproteins.
