title: [Activation of polymorphonuclear neutrophils by contact with collagen I and degradation of collagen].
abstract: The contact of polymorphonuclear neutrophils with type I collagen molecules triggers the production of oxygen free radicals by these cells. This activation requires two short collagenic sequences and seems to involve a beta 2 integrin on the neutrophil membrane. Oxygen free radicals are capable to degrade collagen molecules into small peptides. This interaction takes place in inflammatory phenomena.
