Among the proteins of the human body, collagen accounts for at least 25–45% collagen; it is an essential structural component of skeletal tissues, connective tissue of internal organs (heart, intestines, lungs, liver, kidneys), as well as blood vessels ...

Collagen type II modification by hypochlorite.
Oxidation of proteins is a common phenomenon in the inflammatory process mediated by highly reactive agents such as hypochlorite (HOCl/OCl(-)) produced by activated neutrophils. For instance, in rheumatoid arthritis hypochlorite plays an important role in joint destruction.

Juvenile arthritis and autoimmunity to type II collagen [PDF]
Joint inflammation in juvenile rheumatoid arthritis (JRA) is sometimes associated with an autoimmune response to type II collagen (CII), a cartilage-specific protein. To test the hypothesis that down-regulation of autoimmunity to CII can be accomplished in JRA by oral administration of CII, an open-label study of CII was performed in 9 patients with ...

AUTOIMMUNE ASPECTS OF COLLAGEN HOMEOSTASIS DISORDER IN UNDIFFERENTIATED CONNECTIVE TISSUE DYSPLASIA
. The levels of autoantibodies to collagen type I, II, III, IV and V were studied in blood plasma of 130 patients (18-32 years old) with undifferentiated connective tissue dysplasia, using immunoenzyme analysis.

Increase in types IV and VI collagen in cherry haemangiomas
The capillaries in cherry haemangiomas show perivascular hyalinized sheaths. In order to clarify the nature of this sheath material, the extracellular matrix of cherry haemangiomas from 20 normal volunteers (age range 30-64 years) was investigated using ...

Platelet autologous growth factors decrease the osteochondral regeneration capability of a collagen-hydroxyapatite scaffold in a sheep model [PDF]
Current research aims to develop innovative approaches to improve chondral and osteochondral regeneration. The objective of this study was to investigate the regenerative potential of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) to enhance the repair process of a collagen-

Suppression of type II collagen-induced arthritis by intragastric administration of soluble type II collagen. [PDF]
Although oral administration of protein antigens may lead to specific immunologic unresponsiveness, this method of immunoregulation has not been applied to models of autoimmune disease. Type II collagen-induced arthritis is an animal model of polyarthritis induced in susceptible mice and rats by immunization with type II collagen, a major component of ...
