Abstract
Histochemical observations on sections of the epiphyseal cartilage plate of young rabbit bones suggest that free anionic sites are present in the hypertrophic cartilage zone. This finding may help to explain why this cartilage zone takes up certain radionuclides and may throw light on the mechanisms involved in the initiation of calcifications.
