title: Preparation of desulphated bovine fibrinopeptide B and demonstration of its sulphation in vitro by an enzyme system from neuroblastoma-glioma hybrid cells.
abstract: A method is described for isolating bovine fibrinopeptide B (bFPB) in a highly purified form from crude bovine fibrinogen, using ion-exchange chromatography on DEAE cellulose. Desulphated bFPB (designated DSbFPB) was prepared by treatment of the product with acid. After incubating DSbFPB with [35S]PAPS, in the presence of a particulate preparation from neuroblastoma-glioma hybrid cells, radioactivity was incorporated into a product identified as [35S]bFPB from its position of elution on reverse-phase HPLC. The possible significance of this observation is discussed.
