Binding of Chemotactic Collagen-Derived Peptides to Fibroblasts: THE RELATIONSHIP TO FIBROBLAST CHEMOTAXIS

RESUMO

We previously showed that collagen, α-chains, and collagen-derived peptide fragments induce chemotactic migration of human fibroblasts in vitro. We now describe biochemical and immunological evidence showing there are binding sites for collagen peptides on fibroblast membranes.
