title: Preparation and applications of monoclonal antibodies to different collagen types.
abstract: Monoclonal antibodies have recently been developed against all of the major collagen types isolated from both human and other species. These antibodies have several potential advantages over polyclonal antibodies, and a brief survey will be made of the different antibodies that have so far been developed. In addition, various successful applications of these antibodies to biological investigations will be briefly discussed.
