Abstract excerpt
Articular cartilage chondrocytes maintain biosynthetic heterogeneity in cell culture, but undergo irreversible dedifferentiation of their proteoglycan phenotype, as defined by keratan sulfate content. A recently described cell line of malignant human chondrocytes, 105KC, was the first to maintain a differentiated keratan sulfate-proteoglycan phenotype in long-term culture. A clone of 105KC, labeled KC2H3, is...
