Rat lymph nodes secrete a sulphated macromolecule. This molecule was isolated by ion-exchange chromatography and partially characterized by gel-permeation chromatography, before and after chemical and enzymic modification, and electrophoresis on polyacrylamide gels, paper and glassfibre paper. The results obtained suggest that the label was not incorporated into a proteoglycan but entered a glycolipid that is non-covalently linked to a glycoprotein. A possible role for this complex is discussed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
