## Abstract An arthritis was induced in rabbits immunized with human serum albumin by injection of antigen into the hind knee joint. Histological changes in the synovial membrane and an increase in polymorphonuclear granulocytes in the synovial fluid indicated an inflammatory response similar to th
Cartilage proteoglycan was isolated from bovine nasal septum and fractionated according to buoyant density after dissociative CsCl density gradient centrifugation. Gelexclusion chromatography showed that hyaluronic acid was present in fractions of density lower than 1.69 g/mL. The molecular weight,
Articular cartilage fragments were obtained from four femoral heads and one femoral condyle, resected in five patients undergoing prosthetic surgery for rapidly destructive arthropathy (RDA) and from one normal femoral head and one normal femoral condyle resected at autopsy. The cartilage fragments
Proteases have been postulated to account for the progressive disappearance of matrix proteoglycans in osteoarthritic (OA) cartilage. The digestion of endogenous proteoglycans by neutral proteases in human OA cartilage homogenates has been measured and compared with that of normal age-matched contro
