Bovine, rabbit and human dental pulp glycosaminoglycans were analyzed qualitatively and quantitatively using two-dimensional electrophoresis. The major components of bovine and rabbit dental pulp were chondroitin 4-sulphate and hyaluronic acid, while in the human dental pulp dermatan sulphate and chondroitin 4-sulphate were the major components.
