## Abstract An abundant protein that is identical to the growthβassociated protein pleiotrophin (PTN) has been isolated from dissociative extracts of bovine nasal and fetal epiphyseal cartilage. The yield from these tissues was at least 15 ΞΌg/g wet weight of cartilage. PTN was absent or was present
Retinoic acid (RetA) and interleukin-1β£ (IL-1) together can induce a reproducible release of proteoglycan fragments from bovine nasal cartilage in culture. However, release of collagen fragments with either agent alone is often variable. In this study over 70% of the total collagen was released from
