The total collagen content was 21.3 ± 1.96% (mean ± SD) as determined by hydroxyproline assay. The ratio for the pepsin-soluble fraction was 7.98 ± 3.27%, i.e. very low as compared with other tissues. Type I collagen was determined by SDS-PAGE of cyanogen bromide cleavage of the pepsin-insoluble residue. Copyright © 1991 S.
