Mast cell clones: a model for the analysis of cellular maturation. [PDF]
Cloned mouse mast cells resemble, by ultrastructure, immature mast cells observed in vivo. These mast cell clones can be grown in the absence of any other cells, facilitating direct investigations of their biochemistry and function.

The potential for circular dichroism as an additional facile and sensitive method of monitoring low-molecular-weight heparins and heparinoids [PDF]
The ultraviolet circular dichroism (CD) spectra of commercial low-molecular-weight heparins, heparinoids and other anticoagulant preparations have been recorded between 180 and 260 nm.

The secretory actions of substance P (SP) were studied by examining its effects on ion transport and sulfated macromolecule release in the isolated ferret trachea. Responses to serosally administered SP were unmasked by thiorphan, suggesting that SP administered by this route was degraded by neutral endopeptidase.

Crystal Structure of the Cysteine-Rich Domain of Mannose Receptor Complexed with a Sulfated Carbohydrate Ligand [PDF]
The macrophage and epithelial cell mannose receptor (MR) binds carbohydrates on foreign and host molecules. Two portions of MR recognize carbohydrates: tandemly arranged C-type lectin domains facilitate carbohydrate-dependent macrophage uptake of ...

Hyaluronic Acid and Controlled Release: A Review
Hyaluronic acid (HA) also known as hyaluronan, is a natural polysaccharide—an anionic, non-sulfated glycosaminoglycan—commonly found in our bodies. It occurs in the highest concentrations in the eyes and joints.

Comparative study of sulfated polysaccharides from Caulerpa spp. (Chlorophyceae). Biotechnological tool for species identification?=Estudo comparativo dos polissacarídeos sulfatados de clorofíceas Caulerpa spp. (Chlorophyceae). Ferramenta biotecnológica na identificação de espécies? [PDF]
Studies on macromolecules isolated from marine algae suggested sulfated polysaccharides (SPs) as possible molecular markers for species. We evaluated isolated and fractionated SPs from the green marine algae Caulerpa cupressoides, C.

Purification and Characterization of the Egg Jelly Macromolecules, Sialoglycoprotein and Fucose Sulfate Glycoconjugate, of the Sea Urchin Hemicentrotus Pulcherrimus [PDF]
A sialoglycoprotein and a fucose sulfate glycoconjugate (FSG) were purified from egg jelly of the sea urchin Hemicentrotus pulcherrimus. Sialoglycoprotein which consisted of sialic acid (90%, w/w) and protein (10%, w/w) did not cause induction of the acrosome reaction and sperm isoagglutination.
