title: Biotinylated hyaluronan as a probe for detection of binding proteins in cells and tissues.
abstract: A convenient and reliable method for preparing and using biotinylated hyaluronan for detection of hyaluronan-binding proteins is described. The biotinylated hyaluronan can be used to detect binding proteins in transblots after electrophoresis or as a histological probe for localization of binding proteins in cultured cells and tissue sections.
