Investigation of relationships between collagens, elastin and proteoglycans in bovine thoracic aorta by immunofluorescence techniques
1983
Types I, III and V collagens and proteoglycan were localized in the aorta by indirect immunofluorescence techniques. Type I collagen was more prominent in media and adventitia than in intima while type III collagen predominated in intima and media but appeared less significant in adventitia. Type V collagen was observed in intima and media only and was seen surrounding smooth muscle cells. Type I collagen was located between elastic fibres but type III collagen appeared to envelop the fibres, suggesting an interaction between elastic fibres and type III collagen.
