Intracellular collagen in experimental arthritis in rats.

In recent years the development ofimproved autoradiographic techniques and in particular electron micro-autoradiography (Caro and von Tubergen 1962) has led to a better understanding of collagen fibre production by fibroblasts (Revel and Hay 1963, Ross and Benditt 1965). It is now generally accepted that collagen fibres are formed outside the cell by an extracellular aggregation of soluble coll...
