## Abstract Our objective was to determine the changes in expression of collagen types I and III in the capsule of a rat knee contracture model. The unilateral knee joints of adult male rats were rigidly immobilized at 150Β° of flexion using a rigid plastic plate and screws for 3 days, 1, 2, 4, 8, a
A method is described whereby the ratio of the major interstitial collagens (Types I and III) can be measured in biopsy specimens of human tissue weighing as little as 25 mg. Marker peptides are solubilized from the tissue by digestion with cyanogen bromide. These peptides which are not known to be
Collagen plays an important role in wound healing and as such is present in connective tissue capsules around implanted materials. The proportion of type I collagen to type III collagen is lower during wound healing than that found in normal dermis, but the amount of type I collagen gradually increa
