[Binding of alcian blue by the outer perimembrane layers of cells in the liver, thymus and transplantable tumors].

Dye sorption did not change the electrophoretic mobility of cells obtained from the liver, thymus and solid tumors, but reduced such a mobility in ascite tumor cells. The reduction of the electrical charge of ascite tumor cells was conditioned by the binding of dye with hyaluronic and sialic acids.
