## Abstract To determine if articular cartilage contains structurally distinct populations of proteoglycan aggregates, we extracted and purified proteoglycans from canine knee cartilage under associative conditions. Equilibrium density gradient centrifugation separated three proteoglycan population
## Abstract Proteoglycan aggregates isolated from normal bovine knee cartilage were larger than those from osteoarthritic cartilage of the same joints and appeared relatively more resistant to digestion with leech hyaluronidase. Incubation of proteoglycan subunits from the arthritic cartilage with
## Abstract Nonaggregated proteoglycan monomers, digested fragments of the monomers, as well as link proteins have been shown to selfβassociate. These associations have not been shown to occur on the aggregate. However, previous reports, using the Kleinschmidt technique of monolayer electron micros
