ABSTRACT
The sulfated glycosaminoglycan content of primary cultures of fibroblasts from guinea-pig embryo kidney is reported. A hybrid chondroitin sulfate comprises approx. 90% of these glycosaminoglycans from the cell coat. Changes in the proportion of labelled heparitin sulfate were also observed after successive subcultures. We postulate a possible correlation between the pattern of glycosaminoglycans and processes of cell selection and cell dedifferentiation in these cultures.
