We have isolated heparan sulfate proteoglycans (HSPGs) from cloned rat microvascular
endothelial cells using a combination of ion-exchange chromatography, affinity fractionation
with antithrombin III (AT III), and gel filtration in denaturing solvents. The anticoagulantly
active heparan sulfate proteoglycans (HSPGact) which bind tightly to AT III bear mainly
anticoagulantly active heparan sulfate (HSact) whereas the anticoagulantly inactive heparan
sulfate proteoglycans (HSPGinact) possess mainly anticoagulantly inactive heparan sulfate …
