Abstract

Isolated collagen fibrils treated with type-specific antibodies can be stained using a peroxidase-antibody complex. The staining pattern of the fibrils with this peroxidase-antibody complex is demonstrated and compared with the normal negative staining pattern of the fibrils. The possible binding sites of the anticollagen antibodies on the fibrils is also discussed.
