Tryptic fragments of bovine nasal-cartilage proteoglycan, fractionated by dissociative density-gradient ultracentrifugation, were made to react by immunodiffusion against antiserum to a hyaluronidase-digest subfraction of cartilage proteoglycan monomer. This reaction produced two families of partly superimposed precipitin lines. One family was restricted to gradient fractions of medium or low buoyant density and included the immunoprecipitation reaction attributed to the hyaluronic acid-binding region of the cartilage proteoglycan monomer. The second family of precipitin lines was present alone in gradient fractions of high buoyant density. Immunodiffusion studies with antisera to relatively homogeneous keratan sulphate-rich and chondroitin sulphate-bearing fragment subfractions isolated from the gradient fraction of highest density indicated that both subfractions contained the antigenic determinants responsible for the second family of precipitin lines. Additional immunodiffusion studies, with the use of multispecific antisera to chondroitinase ABC digest and hyaluronidase digest of proteoglycan monomer, confirmed that the two subfractions shared antigenic determinants, and, in addition, indicated that these determinants were on one molecular species in the keratan sulphate-rich fragment subfraction and divided among at least three in the chondroitin sulphate-bearing fragment subfraction. Although an unprecedentedly large number of cartilage proteoglycan antigens could be recognized with the antisera employed in this cartilage proteoglycan antigens could be recognized with the antisera employed in this study, it was not possible to identify antigenic determinants unambiguously specific for the three structurally and functionally distinct regions of the cartilage proteoglycan monomer.
