Figure 1

Western blot of guanidine extracted proteoglycans from full thickness layer of indentation specimens blotted with 6D6 anti-decorin antibody. Decorin with the DS chain resolves at approximately 110 kD, whereas decorin without the DS chain resolves at approximately at 55 kD. The (+) refers to digestion with cB; the (-) is the control incubated in buffer only. DS digestion is evident by the smear below the 110 kD and greater staining at the 55 kD band (DS digestion). The blot was quantified with densitometry (see Figure 2 for areas measured), as reported in the text.
