Journal ArticleDOI
Nidogen: a new, self-aggregating basement membrane protein.
TL;DR: Immunofluorescence staining and absorption studies demonstrated that nidogen is a common component of authentic basement membranes and aggregation of ndogen reflects an activity involved in matrix assembly.
Journal ArticleDOI
Preparation and use in immunohistology of antibodies specific for type I and type III collagen and procollagen
TL;DR: Antibodies to bovine type I and type III collagen and their precursor form procollagen were produced in rabbits and rendered specific for the immunizing antigen by immunoadsorption showed distinct immunofluorescence staining on frozen sections of both bovines and human connective tissue at concentrations as low as 1-10 mug/ml.
Journal ArticleDOI
Circulating antibodies to mouse laminin in Chagas disease, American cutaneous leishmaniasis, and normal individuals recognize terminal galactosyl(alpha 1-3)-galactose epitopes.

TL;DR: The data indicate that the antibodies arising in infectious diseases are stimulated by similar carbohydrate epitopes present on the surface of parasites, and tissue-specific occurrence of such epitopes may exist and explain the involvement of distinct tissues in autoimmune disorders.
Journal ArticleDOI
Isolation, chemical and electron microscopical characterization of neutral-salt-soluble type III collagen and procollagen from fetal bovine skin.
TL;DR: Electron microscopy of long-spacing-segment crystallites and evidence for an extended form of the disulfide-bonded cyanogen bromide peptide suggested that neutral-salt-soluble type III collagon is longer at its C-terminal end by about 10 to 20 amino acid residues than pepsin-treated material.
Journal ArticleDOI
Purification and structural characterization of intact and fragmented nidogen obtained from a tumor basement membrane
Mats Paulsson,Rainer Deutzmann,Marie Dziadek,Hans Nowack,Rupert Timpl,Sabine Weber,Jürgen Engel +6 more
TL;DR: A multidomain structure for nidogen containing sites highly susceptible to proteolytic cleavage is suggested, suggesting a stepwise degradation from the N-terminals of the molecule.
