## Abstract The study was designed to determine the contents and distributions of the proteoglycans decorin and biglycan in adult human femoral condylar cartilage and whether these may change in osteoarthritis. New radioimmunoassays were established using peptides representing the aminoβterminal 21
Previous laboratory measurements showed topographical variation in the properties of articular cartilage in several animal species and in humans. In this study we characterize for the first time the topographical variation of the stiffness of the human knee articular cartilage in vivo using a novel
