Heterogeneity of microfibrils: role of thrombospondin-microfibrils in the thrombogenicity of the subendothelium.

Comptes rendus de l'Academie des sciences. Serie III, Sciences de la vie, 1996
We report the results of an immunogold electron microscopical analysis on microfibrils from the arterial subendothelium showing that thrombospondin (TSP) is present on 40 nm-diameter structures joining 8-10 nm-diameter microfibrils containing fibrillin. They differ from type VI collagen which forms 3-5 nm-diameter microfibrils.

Possible Roles of Microfibrils in Elastogenesis

Connective Tissue Research, 1981
On examination in the electron microscope elastic tissue is seen to consist of an amorphous component surrounded by microfibrillar components. The exact relationship between these components is unknown, although during development the microfibrils appear before the amorphous material.

Purification of Fibrillin-Containing Microfibrils and Collagen VI Microfibrils by Density Gradient Centrifugation

Analytical Biochemistry, 1998
A method is described for the purification of collagen VI microfibrils and fibrillin-containing microfibrils, respectively. High M(r) microfibril-rich preparations isolated from nuchal ligament by bacterial collagenase digestion and size fractionation were purified by CsCl density gradient centrifugation.

The substructure of α-keratin microfibrils

Journal of Ultrastructure Research, 1970
The effect of underfocusing on the fine detail observed in the cross section of α -keratin microfibrils is discussed. It is shown that the apparent subdivision of the microfibrils into protofibrillar elements is coincidental with an underfocused granular phase image of similar dimensions and cannot, therefore, be accepted as a genuine structural ...

The Supramolecular Organization of Collagen VI Microfibrils

Journal of Molecular Biology, 2003
Collagen VI has a ubiquitous distribution throughout connective tissues, and has key roles in linking cells and matrix macromolecules. We have generated three-dimensional reconstructions of collagen VI microfibrils using automated electron tomography (AET) in order to obtain new insights into the organisation of collagen VI in assembled microfibrils ...

Immunolocalization of microfibril and microfibril-associated proteins in the subendothelial matrix of the developing mouse aorta

Journal of Cell Science, 1994
ABSTRACT In the developing aorta, endothelial cell connecting filaments extend from the abluminal surface of the endothelial cell to the subjacent elastic lamina. The connecting filaments are in alignment with intracellular stress fibers and are oriented parallel to the direction of blood flow.

Microfibrils from the Arterial Subendothelium

1999
Microfibrillar structures of the subendothelium are represented by either type VI collagen or elastin-associated microfibrils which are also referred to as fibrillin-containing microfibrils. These structures are present throughout the subendothelium irrespective of the presence of elastin.
