An analysis of rabbit vitreous collagen.
Where similar techniques are employed, the properties of collagen peptides extracted from rabbit vitreous by pepsin treatment resemble those described in published reports of bovine vitreous. Further, rabbit vitreous also contains minor components that migrate on polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis more slowly than the minor 1 alpha and 2 alpha chains of rabbit cartilage. Properties of the major vitreous components suggest a mixture of the closely-related cartilage collagen chains alpha 1(II) and 3 alpha.
