Abstract
An organ culture system is described for adult human articular cartilage obtained from joints after femoral head replacement operations. Cartilage slices maintain maximal viability for 2 days in culture as assessed by uptake of [3H]uridine and [3H]leucine into whole tissue, and 35SO4 into sulphated glycosaminoglycans (GAGs). Since GAGs are the components of cartilage matrix, the depletion of which is associated with osteoarthrosis, a method for measuring sulphated GAG synthesis in culture has been investigated.Entities:
