title: The formation of a stable complex between dissociated proteoglycan and hyaluronic acid in the absence of a link protein.
abstract: A proteoglycan fraction prepared from bovine articular cartilage under dissociative conditions was shown to interact with three purified hyaluronic acid preparations to form stable complexes in the analytical ultracentrifuge. It is concluded from these experiments that, although link proteins are associated with hyaluronic acid and proteoglycans in complexes between these macromolecular constituents.
