Abstract
The sulfated mucopolysaccharide composition of different neonate, adult and tumoral tissues is reported. It is shown that each tissue has a characteristic composition with respect to the relative amount, type and molecular size of chondroitin sulfate A C , chondroitin sulfate B and heparitin sulfate. Neonate and tumor tissues contain large amounts of chondrotin sulfate A C which is nearly absent in most adult and normal tissues respectively. Based on these and other results a possible role for the sulfated mucopolysaccharides in cell recognition and adhesiveness is proposed.
