A monoclonal antibody to a core-protein-related epitope of a small dermatan sulfate-rich proteoglycan (DS-PGII) isolated from adult bovine articular cartilage (22) was used to localize this molecule, or molecules containing this epitope, in bovine articular cartilages, in cartilage growth plate, and in other connective tissues. Using an indirect method employing peroxidase-labeled pig anti-mouse immunoglobulin G, DS-PGII was shown to be present mainly in the superficial zone of adult articular condylar cartilage of the metacarpal-phalangeal joint. In fetal articular and epiphyseal cartilages, the molecule was uniformly distributed throughout the matrix. By approximately 10 months of age it was confined mainly to the superficial and middle zones of articular cartilage and the inter-territorial and pericellular matrix of the deep zone. DS-PGII was not detected in the primary growth plate of the fetus except in the proliferative zone, where it was sometimes present in trace amounts. In contrast, it was present throughout the adjacent matrix of developing epiphyseal cartilage. In the trabeculae of the metaphysis, strong staining for DS-PGII was seen in decalcified osteoid and bone immediately adjacent to osteoblasts. Staining was also observed on collagen fibrils in skin, tendon, and ligament and in the adventitia of the aorta and of smaller arterial vessels in the skin. These observations indicate that DS-PGII and/or molecules containing this epitope are widely distributed in collagenous tissues, where the molecule is intimately associated with collagen fibrils; in adult cartilage this association is limited mainly to the narrow parallel arrays of fibrils which are found in the superficial zone at the articular surface. From its intimate association and other studies, this molecule may play an important role in determining the sizes and tensile properties of collagen fibrils; it may also be involved in the calcification of osteoid but not of cartilage.
