Abstract
Our previous studies have indicated the presence of a macromolecular inhibitor of in vitro mineral growth, as well as a mineral nucleational agent in extracellular matrix fluid aspirated by micropuncture methods from epiphyseal hypertrophic cell cartilage. In this report, new miniaturized methods were used to extract proteinpolysaccharide complexes (PPC) from cartilage, to isolate a light fraction (PPL-C), and further, to separate it into R1, R2, and SR2 subfractions. These methods were applied to PPL-C complexes separated from microdissected epiphyseal cartilages and to cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC) precipitates of extracellular matrix fluid aspirated from similar cartilages. Most of all of the inhibitory action on an in vitro system of mineral growth shown by whole cartilage PPL-C and by cartilage fluid PPC obtained from noncalcifying sites was contained in the R2 fraction which represented ¼-[unk] of the total hexuronate.

Usage information is collected from two different sources: this site (JCI) and Pubmed Central (PMC). JCI information (compiled daily) shows human readership based on methods we employ to screen out robotic usage. PMC information (aggregated monthly) is also similarly screened of robotic usage.
Various methods are used to distinguish robotic usage. For example, Google automatically scans articles to add to its search index and identifies itself as robotic; other services might not clearly identify themselves as robotic, or they are new or unknown as robotic. Because this activity can be misinterpreted as human readership, data may be re-processed periodically to reflect an improved understanding of robotic activity. Because of these factors, readers should consider usage information illustrative but subject to change.
