Morphological and autoradiographical characterization of membrane-like layers surrounding cultured fibroblasts. 1978

H G Fromme, and E Buddecke, and K van Figura, and H Kresse

Two membrane-like layers of approximately 7 nM thickness were observed in ultrathin cross-sections of flat-embedded cultured fibroblasts. One "membrane", underlying the cell-monolayer, possibly established contacts between cells and substratum. The other "membrane" covered the whole cell culture. These "membranes" were at least partially synthesized by the cells themselves, as was shown by high resolution autoradiography. With regard to our biochemical findings, the autoradiographical results showed that components of these "membranes" consisted of sulfated proteoglycans and may be the morphological equivalent to the biochemically well-defined cell surface associated material, the so-called pericellular pool of glycosaminoglycans.

D002809 Chondroitin Sulfates Derivatives of chondroitin which have a sulfate moiety esterified to the galactosamine moiety of chondroitin. Chondroitin sulfate A, or chondroitin 4-sulfate, and chondroitin sulfate C, or chondroitin 6-sulfate, have the sulfate esterified in the 4- and 6-positions, respectively. Chondroitin sulfate B (beta heparin; DERMATAN SULFATE) is a misnomer and this compound is not a true chondroitin sulfate.

D003871 Dermatan Sulfate A naturally occurring glycosaminoglycan found mostly in the skin and in connective tissue. It differs from CHONDROITIN SULFATE A (see CHONDROITIN SULFATES) by containing IDURONIC ACID in place of glucuronic acid, its epimer, at carbon atom 5.
