pubmed:abstractText
Keratan sulphate (KS) concentration and anticollagen type II antibody levels were measured in the serum and synovial fluid (SF) of clinically normal horses and horses with osteoarthritis (OA). Serum KS in OA was significantly higher than that in normal horses, while no significant difference was found in KS levels of SF between normal and OA. Assays of antibody to collagen type II showed no significant increase in sera and SF of OA. It was suggested that levels of serum KS would be of value in the pathological detection of OA in the joint, although there was no evidence that the measurable autoimmunity to collagen antigens would reflect the process of OA.
