β¦ Synopsis
The activity of arylsulphatases A and B was studied in cultured fibroblasts of 2 patients with Hurler's syndrome, 2 patients with Hunter's syndrome and 2 patients with eystinosis.
The activity of arylsulphatase A was found to be lower in fibroblasts in patients with Hurler's syndrome than in the controls while it was not always decreased in Hunter's syndrome. The activity of arylsulphatase B was increased in fibroblasts in Hunter's syndrome. In eystinosis the activity of arylsulphatase 13 was selectively decreased in fibroblasts.

Bone marrow fibroblasts (BMF) have been shown to be able to support granuiopoiesis. The present studies were designed to see whether BMF in patients with agnogenic myeioid metapiasia (AMM) are also able to support granulopoiesis. Myeioid colonystimulating activity (CSA) was assayed in BMF derived f
