Popis: Embryonic limb bud cells were cultured under conditions in which chondrogenic expression takes place. Quantitative and qualitative estimates were made of the proteochondroitin sulfate synthesized under these conditions. A tenfold increase in incorporation into proteochondroitin sulfate is observed over the culture period during which chondrogenic expression takes place. This increase is reflected in a preferential increase of a particular fraction identified on 1% agarose chomatography. Low levels of this chromatographic fraction can be identified in limb buds before any evidence of cartilage expression is evident. We postulate that this preferential augmentation is a cartilage specific event.
