TLDR
In this article, the structure of 67Ga-binding acid mucopolysaccharide in tumor tissues was determined from measuring neutral saccharides in the structure, and it was determined that the principal acid acid acid in the tumor was either keratan sulfate and/or keratan polysulfate.
Abstract
The present study was undertaken to determine the structure of67Ga-binding acid mucopolysaccharide in tumor tissues. It was determined from measuring neutral saccharide in the structure that the principal67Ga-binding acid mucopolysaccharide in the tumor was keratan sulfate and/or keratan polysulfate. On the other hand, it was clarified from the results of mucopolysaccharase treatment that the main67Ga-binding acid mucopolysaccharide in tumor was not keratan sulfate, heparan sulfate, heparin, nor chondroitin sulfate A, B, or C. Based on the present results, it was deduced that the main67Ga-binding acid mucopolysaccharide in tumor is keratan polysulfate and that this acid mucopolysaccharide plays the most important role in tumor accumuation of67Ga.

67Ga accumulation in inflammatory lesion and its mechanism: Comparison with malignant tumor

TL;DR: It is clear from this study that 67Ga is avidly accumulated in areas where the subcutanous tissue is infiltrated with neutrophil and macrophages, that it is not accumulated at the sites in which neutrophils are crowded, that nuclear material, mitochondria, lysosomes and microsomes do not play a major role in 67Ga accumulation in the lesion.

Studies on yeast metabolism. 1. Fractionation and microdetermination of cell carbohydrates

TL;DR: Direct measurement of the metabolic changes in the intracellular carbohydrate of yeast has usually been restricted to the determination of total hydrolysable carbohydrate, that is to say, of reducing power after acid hydrolysis of a cell suspension.
