Abstract
Proteoglycans were studied histochemically and immuno-histochemically in normal and osteochondrotic cartilage of swine. The results showed r educed intensities of proteoglycan staining with cationic dyes in oste ochondrotic necrotic cartilage. Staining intensities with monoclonal a ntibodies specific to chondroitin sulfate, keratan sulfate and decorin varied among joints. These results do not support recent reports demo nstrating high staining intensity of proteoglycan in necrotic cartilag e.
