MZ15, a monoclonal antibody recognizing keratan sulphate, stains chick tendon

Abstract
Summary Biochemical, morphometric and electron histochemical methods have failed to demonstrate the presence in tendon of keratan sulphate, a common component of connective tissue proteoglycans. Using a monoclonal antibody specific for keratan sulphate, a positive localization of this molecule was made in the gastrocnemius tendon of stage 44 chicken embryos both at the light and electron microscopical levels.
