Abstract
Hyaluronic acid-derivatised beads spontaneously agglutinate with chondroitin sulphate-derivatised beads although neither bead type shows any self-agglutination. The interaction between hyaluronate and chondroitin sulphate is specific for these two glycosaminoglycans and appears to occur between their carbohydrate chains.
