초록

Glycosaminoglycans(PT -Gag) were isolated from the porcine testis. From the PT -Gag, we obtained two different types of Gag fractions using Dowex macro porous Resin MSA-1 column, PT -Gag-1.5% NaCl and PT -Gag-16% NaCl. Various biological activities of the GAGs were examined in aspect of anticoagulant and immunomodulating activity. The anticoagulant activity of the GAGs was evaluated by activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT ) assay and thrombin time (TT) assay. The GAGs of porcine testis markedly incresed the clotting times of both of aPTT and TT. showing that PT-Gag-16% NaCl was more effective than PT-Gag-1.5% NaCl. The immunomodulating activityof the GAGs was examined in relation to regulation of xytoxine prodution of murine peritoeal maerophages. Taken together. GAGs isolated from porcine testis possess bilolgical functions such as anticoagulant and immunomodulating activity.
