Abstract excerpt
To examine the effects that an organizing extracellular matrix might have on osteoblast precursors, we created MC3T3-E1 cell lines that stably incorporated a plasmid that expressed pro alpha 1 (I) collagen chains having a truncated triple helical domain. Cells that had incorporated the pro alpha 1 (I) expression plasmid (pMG155) efficiently secreted molecules with shortened pro alpha 1 (I) chains into culture...
