Research Abstract

Expression of heparan sulfate glycosaminoglycan with positively charged domain (JM403 antigen) in cytoplasm was examined in proliferative and/or differentiated cells of cancers and fetal rodent tissues. The JM403 antigen was limitedly expressed in epithelial cells but not in nervous cells and connective tissue cells, suggesting its involvement with epithelial proliferation and differentiation.
