Abstract excerpt
Differentiation of cartilage cells from embryonic precursor cells is characterized by the onset of biosynthesis of at least two cartilage-specific gene products, type II collagen and cartilage-specific chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan (CSPG). Biochemical and immunological assays for these compounds now allow rapid, quantitative, and specific determination of the onset of cartilage differentiation, and present...
