Development of a highly sensitive chemiluminescence immunoassay for quantification of aggrecanase-generated ARGS aggrecan fragments in serum

Objective: Cartilage degradation is a hallmark of osteoarthritis (OA). Aggrecan, a major proteoglycan of articular cartilage extracellular matrix (ECM), is degraded by ADAMTS-5 resulting in the release of ARGS-G2 fragments to synovial fluid and circulation. The aim was to quantify ARGS-G2 in the ser...
