Accurate isolation and quantitative measurement of the different acid mucopolysaccharides (AMPS*) l-* of human and animal tissues is complicated by the structural similarity of the different macromolecules, by variations in size (eg HA from Rous sarcoma has a smaller particle size than HA from normal tissueo); and by differences in the relative composition of individual AMPS isolated from different tissue+, 11, These difficulties are magnified when attempts are made to isolate and fractionate AMPS quantitatively from minute samples of tissue which contain only minor amounts of these substances.KAPLAN AND MEYER, I2 identified the constituents of human aortic AMPS as HA, HS, ChS-I3 (dermatan sulfate, B-heparin) and ChS-C (chondroitin 6-sulfate). They observed alterations in the relative proportions (though not the total amount) of the four AMPS with age, but this technique required large pooled samples, and, therefore, was not suitable for the measuring of the AMPS pattern of individual aortas. Micromethods by others, such as MANLEY~ and MANLEY AND KENT~ did not provide sufficient information to indicate the quantitative effectiveness of their fractionation. The same criticism can be applied to TRUNDLE AND MANN’@ report of a semi-micro (5 mg) procedure which is a modification of RINGERTZ AND REICHARD’S~~, using in addition electrophoresis on cellulose acetate followed by quantitation by densitometry after staining with acridine orange. Quantities containing as little as z-5, ug of hexosamine were assayed by ANTONOFOULOS at aZ. 1; but the method is relatively involved and does not distinguish members of the chondroitin sulfate group. Moreover, in its application to human aorta2 the complete separation of components was achieved only by sacrificing quantitative recovery.
