The effects of chitin [(1 -->4)-2-acetamido-2-deoxy-beta -D-glucan] and its partially deacetylated derivatives, chitosans, on the proliferation of human dermal fibroblasts and keratinocytes were examined in vitro. Chitosans with relatively high degrees of deacetylation strongly stimulated fibroblast proliferation while samples with lower levels of deacetylation showed less activity. Fraction, CL313A, a shorter chain length, 89% deacetylated chitosan chloride was further evaluated using cultures of fibroblasts derived from a range of human donors. Some fibroblast cultures produced a positive mitogenic response to CL313A treatment with proliferation rates being increased by approximately 50% over the control level at an initial concentration of 50 mug/ml, whilst others showed no stimulation of proliferation or even a slight inhibition (
