    Abstract:
    Dermatan sulphate (DS) is a glycosaminoglycan which catalyses specifically thrombin inhibition by a plasmatic inhibitor, Heparin cofactor II (HCII). DS was insolubilized on a silica matrix to study its interaction with HCII. The immobilization of DS was performed with a good yield on a silica previously coated with polysaccharides in order to neutralize the negatively charged silanol groups. The value of the affinity constant of insolubilized DS for HCII, measured by the adsorption isotherm, is consistent with the value obtained for soluble DS. The DS bound to the silica matrix was also tested as a chromatographic support for the purification of HCII from human plasma; the optimum conditions for HCII adsorption and desorption were determined. The eluted HCII was obtained with a good yield (21%) and with no contamination by antithrombin III, the other main plasmatic inhibitor of thrombin.
