title: On the polylactose nature of chondroitin and keratan sulphates.
abstract: The recognition that keratan and chondroitin sulphates are based on the same polylactose backbone simplifies the study of heteroduplex formation between them, suggests insights into structure-function relationships in tissues, and permits new definitions of the linkage regions.
