Antigenic properties of aruicular cartilage

  • Experimental Biology
  • Published:
Bulletin of Experimental Biology and Medicine Aims and scope

Summary

Fresh articular cartilage possesses marked antigenic properties. Storage at low temperatures (0°C) lowers its antigenic properties considerably.

Data from complement fixation tests show that the antigenic properties of fresh and stored skin are considerably more pronounced that those of fresh articular cartilage.
