Mucopolysaccharides produced in tissue culture

Abstract

1. A method of mass tissue culture has been devised by which, in a relatively short period of time, samples large enough for chemical isolation of mucopolysaccharides can be obtained. 2. Chemical isolation of acid mucopolysaccharides from mass cultures of human fetal skin, human fetal bone, bovine fetal skin, and rat subcutaneous tissue has been carried out. It has been found that the fibroblasts of each of these tissues produce in tissue culture more than one mucopolysaccharide, namely, hyaluronic acid, and a chondroitin sulfate. 3. The chondroitin sulfate produced by fibroblasts of the above tissues in tissue culture was not fully sulfated. The possible significance of this finding is discussed.
