The glycosaminoglycans of human plasma

RESUMO
A method is proposed for the measurement of glycosaminoglycans (GAG) on 5-10 ml of plasma. It is based on the adsorption of GAG on small ECTEOLA columns followed by measurement of the hexuronic acid in the NaCl eluates. Routine use of the method has indicated the presence of a GAG fraction that adsorbs readily on ECTEOLA (“free” GAG) and of another that adsorbs on it only after treatment with papain (“bound” GAG). “Free” and “bound” GAG have been measured in normal adults, normal children, and children affected by mucopolysaccharidosis type I; the results obtained are in good agreement with those previously reported in the literature.
