Fibromodulin Interactions with Type I and II Collagens
Connective Tissue Research, 2007Fibromodulin is a keratan-sulfate small leucine-rich proteoglycan (SLRP) regulating collagen I and II fibril formation. In vivo studies suggest that, alongside decorin, fibromodulin plays an important role in the maintenance of mature tissues. To characterize fibromodulin/decorin differences in binding to type I and II collagen, we tested the collagen ...

Type II Collagen Autoimmunity in Rheumatoid Arthritis
The American Journal of the Medical Sciences, 2004This review summarizes the autoimmune reaction to type II collagen (CII) autoimmunity with regard not only to antibody response to CII but also to the clinical significance or biological characteristics of the CII-reactive T cell, focusing on studies of human RA rather than on animal models.

Stretching type II collagen with optical tweezers
Journal of Biomechanics, 2004Collagens are the most abundant proteins of vertebrates and they provide mechanical and supportive functions in a wide range of connective tissues. Knowledge of the mechanical properties of single collagen molecules is essential in studying the self-assembly of collagen, the interaction between cells and extracellular matrix, the etiology of tissue ...

Type II collagen screening in the human chondrodysplasias
American Journal of Medical Genetics, 1989AbstractAbnormalities of type II collagen have been considered strong candidates for causing human chondrody splasias. We have employed peptide mapping to screen for several types of type II collagen abnormalities in cartilage samples from 66 patients with 20 separate disorders. Except for achondrogenesis type II (Langer‐Saldino) and spondyloepiphyseal

Type II collagen autoimmunity and Ménière's disease
The Journal of Laryngology & Otology, 1993AbstractAntibodies to type II collagen have been reported by some authors to be raised in patients with Ménière's disease. In this study the antibody levels to type I and II collagen have been measured in 37 patients with Ménière's disease and 20 controls, using a solid-phase, double-antibody, enzyme-linked, immunoassay.

Dual Effects of Type II Collagen on the Degradation of Type I Collagen by Tadpole Collagenase
Collagen and Related Research, 1981Kinetic analysis of the degradation of mixtures of type I and type II collagens by tadpole collagenase was performed, using [14C]glycine-labeled type I collagen and [3H]acetylated type II collagen as substrates. The degradation rate of type I collagen was decreased in the initial stage of the reaction, then further slowed down giving a constant rate ...

Role of Collagen Type II and Perlecan in Skeletal Development
Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 2003Abstract: The cartilage extracellular matrix is composed of a dense collagen network that entraps a range of other specialized proteins important for the proper formation and function of the tissue. Loss of two abundant cartilage components, type II collagen and perlecan, has drastic effects on skeletal development.

Changes are confined to tissue sites which contain type II collagen (hyaline cartilage). Peripheral arthropathy is manifest grossly, in the squirrel monkey by acute swelling of the affected finger joints (Cathcart et al. 1986), with most of the swelling subsiding with the passing of the acute phase.

[Anti-type II collagen antibodies in collagen disease].
Rinsho byori. The Japanese journal of clinical pathology, 1993Using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), we determined the incidence of serum IgG antibodies to native type II collagen in patients with collagen diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA), systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), progressive systemic sclerosis (PSS) and overlap syndrome (OL).

Identification of collagen type I and type II in chondroid tissue
Calcified Tissue International, 1984This paper deals with investigations concerning the matrix of chondroid tissue. Among the 73 human fetus or child mandibles and the 42 cat mandibles we have studied histologically and microradiographically, 8 human and 3 cat mandibles were used to determine the collagen composition in chondroid tissue matrix, and 10 cat mandibles were analyzed in order
