Multiple aggregation factors in cartilage proteoglycan.
Proteoglycan as isolated from bovine nasal septa is a partially aggregated complex containing linking factors. Two essential factors can be separated from proteoglycan subunits and resolved in a CsCl density gradient. Chondroitinase digestion of the purified proteoglycan subunits does not interfere with their aggregation when the linking factors are added.
