1. N-Acetylgalactosamine 6-sulphate sulphatase was purified about 20000-fold from the soluble extract of human placenta with N-acetylgalactosamine 6-sulphate-glucuronic acid-N-acetyl[1-(3)H]galactosaminitol 6-sulphate as substrate in the activity assay. The enzyme appears to be a glycoprotein with a mol.wt. of about 100000 as determined by gel filtration. On gel electrophoresis in the presence ...

Two bio salt minerals, potassium sulphate, sodium sulphate and a mixture of both bio salts at the effective concentration of 1% which were added to the mulberry leaves of silkworm B. mori L., to evaluate their effect on the differential haemocyte counts (DHC) and absolute differential haemocyte counts (ADHC). Daily changes of five haemocyte types were investigated as, prohaemocytes, plasmatocyt...
