The effect of increasing the sulfation level of chondroitin sulfate on anticoagulant specific activity and activation of the kinin system. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 Oversulfated chondroitin sulfate (OSCS) was identified as a contaminant in certain heparin preparations as the cause of adverse reactions in patients. OSCS was found to possess both plasma anticoagulant activity and the ability to activate prekallikrein ...

Antigenicity of Chondroitin Sulfate.
Experimental Biology and Medicine, 1957 SummaryChondroitin sulfate extracted from human costal cartilage was prepared in 3 different ways for inoculation into rabbits, (1) a 1% solution, (2) a 1% solution incubated with heat-killed, group A, type 3, hemolytic streptococcus, and (3) a 1% solution incubated with heat-killed Staphylococcus aureus. These 3 preparations were injected into rabbits
