Collagen type VI in the human bone marrow microenvironment: a strong cytoadhesive component

Abstract excerpt

Collagen type VI, which forms characteristic microfibrillar structures, is assembled from three individual alpha(VI) chains that form a short triple helix and two adjacent globular domains. Expression of all three alpha (VI) collagen chains in the human bone marrow (BM) microenvironment could be detected by chain-specific antibodies in tissue sections and in the adherent stromal layer of long-term BM cultures.
