1 RESULTS: Bikunin.chondroitin sulfate (CS) and IalphaI were abundant in OA cartilages, but virtually undetectable in normal. Chondroitin Sulfates alpha-1-microglobulin/bikunin precursor Homo sapiens
2 RESULTS: Bikunin.chondroitin sulfate (CS) and IalphaI were abundant in OA cartilages, but virtually undetectable in normal. Chondroitin Sulfates alpha-1-microglobulin/bikunin precursor Homo sapiens
3 The presence of bikunin.CS and IalphaI in OA cartilage, but not in normal, appears to be due to diffusional uptake and retention through fibrillated (but not deeply fissured) cartilage surfaces. Chondroitin Sulfates alpha-1-microglobulin/bikunin precursor Homo sapiens
