Mucopolysaccharides in Synovial Fluid. Detection of Chondroitin Sulphate

Abstract
Mucopolysaccharides were isolated from the synovial fluid of 3 patients with rheumatoid arthritis. Mucopolysaccharide-protein complexes, including chondroitln sulfate, were studied after separation of free proteins by diethylaminoethyl (DEAE)-Sephadex and after passage of the deproteinized fluid down Sephadex gel-200.
