Human Collagen Type III (COL3)

Recombinant Collagen Trimers from Insect Cells and Yeast

have been unsuccessful, but active recombinant human prolyl 4-hydroxylase has been produced in insect cells and yeast by coexpression of its α- and β-subunits (7 ,7 ). We have recently shown that recombinant human type III collagen with a stable triple helix

Culture of Human Smooth Muscle Cells

. They are surrounded by a basal lamina containing collagen IV, proteoglycans, glycosaminoglycans, glycoproteins, and extracellular matrix (ECM) molecules: collagens type 1, III, V, and VI, and elastin. The external tunica adventitia consists primarily of collagen

Development and Clinical Application in Arthritis of a New Immunoassay for Serum Type IIA Procollagen NH2 Propeptide

in the circulation, and their levels are believed to reflect type II collagen synthesis. In this chapter we describe the development of a specific enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for the measurement of the IIA form of PIINP (PIIANP) in serum based
