A simplified procedure for the fractionation and purification of different collagen types from
various tissues is described which is particularly efficient in separating type-V from type-IV
collagen, and highmol.-wt.(HMW) aggregates from 7 S collagen. Uterus and maternal villi
contain 2 forms of type-V collagen−{α1 (V)} 2α2 (V) and {α1 (V) 2α2 (V) α3 (V)}–which have
been separated on DEAE-cellulose. Uterus however appears to be the richest source of
both HMW aggregates and the {α1 (V) 2α2 (V) α3 (V)} collagen, and a probable relationship …
