Differentiation of Human Embryonic Stem Cells into Cells with Corneal Keratocyte Phenotype [PDF]
Corneal transparency depends on a unique extracellular matrix secreted by stromal keratocytes, mesenchymal cells of neural crest lineage. Derivation of keratocytes from human embryonic stem (hES) cells could elucidate the keratocyte developmental pathway

We developed two human-induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC)/human embryonic stem cell (hESC)-specific glycan-recognizing mouse antibodies, R-10G and R-17F, using the Tic (JCRB1331) hiPSC line as an antigen. R-10G recognizes a low-sulfate keratan sulfate,

Human Corneal Keratan Sulfates [PDF]
The keratan sulfate-containing proteoglycans were isolated from fourteen pooled human corneas (thirteen from 61- to 86-year-olds, plus one from a 12-year-old). These proteoglycans were subjected to digestion with the enzyme keratanase II, and the released oligosaccharides, which included nonreducing termini and repeat region oligosaccharides but not ...

Immunolocalization of Keratan Sulfate Proteoglycan in Rat Calvaria.
We investigate, by the immunogold method, the localization of keratan sulfate (KS) proteoglycan in rat calvaria in order to clarify the detailed process of intramembranous ossification. KS was localized in bone nodules corresponding to calcified nodules, close to the saggital suture of calvaria. The immunoreactivity decreased in fully calcified regions

Urinary keratan sulfate of Morquio's disease.
To elucidate precise chemical nature of urinary keratan sulfate (KS) of Morquio's disease, crude glycosaminoglycans (GAG) were separated from 24-hr urines of 3 patients with Morquio's disease and from pooled urine of a healthy boy, using cetylpyridinium chloride.

An improved method for the structural profiling of keratan sulfates: analysis of keratan sulfates from brain and ovarian tumors [PDF]
A previously developed method for the structural fingerprinting of keratan sulfates (Brown et al., Glycobiology, 5, 311-317, 1995) has been adapted for use with oligosaccharides fluorescently labeled with 2-aminobenzoic acid following keratanase II digestion.

Mucopolysaccharidosis IVA: Diagnosis, Treatment, and Management. [PDF]
Mucopolysaccharidosis type IVA (MPS IVA, or Morquio syndrome type A) is an inherited metabolic lysosomal disease caused by the deficiency of the N-acetylglucosamine-6-sulfate sulfatase enzyme.
