title: Type VI collagen in experimental atherosclerosis.
abstract: Diffuse intercellular immunofluorescence staining of type VI collagen was found in the experimentally thickened vascular wall and in control blood vessel tissues as well, superimposed by more intense staining around basement membranes. While the basement membrane staining disappeared in advanced mural thickenings, the diffusely distributed network of type VI collagen remained.
