Chemical Studies of Mucopolysaccharides of Rat Blood Platelets

Abstract
Summary Two mucopolysaccharide fractions have been extracted from blood platelets of rats. Paper electrophoresis and paper chromatography of the intact MPS of fraction 1 and paper chromatography of its hydrolysis products show it to be similar to chondroitin sulfate. Fraction 2 is probably a uronic acid-free mucopolysaccharide.
