(J. Am. Soc. Nephrol. 1992; 3:113-1 15) washed gently in PBS and solubibized in 1 mL/wehl of 0. 1 % sodium dodecyb sulfate (BioRad, Richmond, CA), and the radioactivity was estimated with a gamma counter (LKB-Bnomma, Sweden). To study the effects of fixation, the lectin binding was measured In cells fixed in 95% ethanol. Because the fixed cells could not be solubihizcd completely in sodium dode...

Umbilical cord was shown to contain chondroitin sulfate B and a small amount of glucosamine-containing sulfated mucopolysaccharide, in addition to hyaluronic acid and chondroitin sulfate C. All of the hyaluronic acid and part of the chondroitin sulfate C could be extracted directly with dilute sodium chloride; the rest of the chondroitin sulfate C and the chondroitin sulfate B were released onl...

Understanding the formation of sulfate particles in the troposphere is critical because of their health effects and their direct and indirect effects on radiative forcing, and hence on climate. Laboratory studies of the chemical and physical changes in sodium chloride, the major component of sea-salt particles, show that sodium hydroxide is generated upon reaction of deliquesced sodium chloride...

Effects of respirable aerosols of sulfuric acid, ammonium sulfate, sodium sulfite, and ammonium persulfate on lungs of rats are reviewed. The literature regarding interactions between ozone or nitrogen dioxide and acidic aerosols (ammonium sulfate, sulfuric acid) is discussed. An unexpected interaction between nitrogen dioxide and sodium chloride aerosol is also discussed. An attempt is made to...
