Chondrocytes from the Swarm chondrosarcoma, a transplantable rat tumor, have been difficult to maintain in tissue culture for extended periods due to a time-dependent alteration of the culture to a more fibroblastic phenotype. This feature precluded the use of these cultures to examine chronic condi

A ternary complex of hyaluronic acid-binding region and link protein bound to hyaluronic acid was isolated from limit clostripain digests of proteoglycan aggregates isolated from the Swarm rat chondrosarcoma. Under these conditions, the hyaluronic acid-binding region has a molecular weight of 3 65,0
The Swarm rat chondrosarcoma has been the subject of extensive biochemical studies. However, to our knowledge, there are no previous reports in the literature on transplantation of this tumor into bone. This article describes the natural history of the tumor when implanted into the bone of the rat,
Annexin V has been characterized as a major collagen type II binding cell-surface component of normal chondrocytes and is also called anchorin CII in chondrogenic populations. Herein we present evidence that in vitro cultured Swarm rat chondrosarcoma cells are not capable of binding collagen type II
