Using several physical techniques the surface of articular cartilage has been reported to be structurally different from the deeper layers. In this paper using immunohistochemical methods, the surface has been shown to contain a characteristically different collagen, Type I in contrast to Type II which is the major collagen of cartilage. These results support previous proposals for a surface layer, or lamina splendens, the presence of which would be of considerable importance in understanding the degradation of cartilage in arthritides.
据报道，使用多种物理技术观察到关节软骨表面在结构上与较深层不同。在本文中，通过免疫组织化学方法显示，表面含有一种特征性不同的胶原蛋白，即I型胶原，而软骨的主要胶原蛋白是II型胶原。这些结果支持了先前关于表面层或光彩层的提议，其存在对于理解关节炎中软骨的降解具有相当重要的意义。
