Hyal2 deficiency in cartilage causes the accumulation of high molecular weight hyaluronan. Hyaluronan extracted from knee joints and femoral heads of 9-month-old male mice and hyaluronan references with known molecular sizes were subjected to Sephacryl S-1000 gel filtration chromatography (0.7 × 40 cm). Hyaluronan contents in each fraction were determined using a competitive ELISA. The arrows indicate the positions of peaks of hyaluronan references.
