AN AUTORADIOGRAPHIC STUDY OF THE EPIPHYSEAL CARTILAGE IN NORMAL RABBITS AFTER ADMINISTRATION OF RADIOSULPHATE
An autoradiographic examination of epiphyseal cartilage in young rabbits after administration of radiosulfate is reported. The activity 2 hr after the injection of S/sup 35/ is seen exclusively in the cells. After 24 hr the activity is seen in the cell periphery and the surrounding matrix. Seven days after the injection of S/sup 35/ the matrix is diffusely labeled. In the metaphysis equally strong labeling is seen in the bone trabeculae close to the epiphysis. After 2 to 3 weeks one can observe a weak reaction in the cartilage matrix and in the trabeculae of the metaphysis. The experiments seem to demonstrate that the chondroitin sulfate of cartilage matrix is synthetized in the chondrocytes. (auth)
