Monoclonal antibody to delta-unsaturated glucuronic acid adjacent to N-acetylgalactosamine- 4-sulphate in the non-reducing terminal dissacharide “stub” of 4-sulphated chondroitin sulfate that is produced after chondroitinase digestion of chondroitin-4- sulphate glycosaminoglycan chains (chondroitinase ABC or ACII) or dermatan sulphate glycosaminoglycan chains (chondroitinase ABC or chondroitinase B).
