The large distribution ofD-spacing values of type I collagen fibrils was due to image drift during measurement, and theD-spacing values were nearly identical both within a single fibril bundle and in different fibril bundles, exhibiting only a narrow distribution of 2.5 nm.

Measuring D-spacing values from collagen fibrils or collagen fascicles with surface curvatures will introduce additional errors. This error might be minimized by studying single collagen fibrils which are parallel to the surface of substrates.

Type I collagen was described as a major allergen in fish. The purpose of this study was to screen and identify the linear IgE epitopes of type I collagen α1 and α2 subunits in rainbow trout. Five bioinformatics tools were used to predict the potential epitopes and the resultant epitopes were confirmed by LAD2 cells degranulation assay with sera from fish allergic patients. As the result, 10 peptides of α1 and α2 subunits were predicted, respectively, and these peptides were assembled by solid-phase synthesis. 14 epitopes were identified by LAD2 cells degranulation assay, among which, peptide 2, 5–7 were identified as linear epitope of α1 and peptide 11–20 were identified as linear epitope of α2. Moreover, for α1 and α2 subunits, the similarity of sequences was greater than 79%, suggesting the cross-reactivity of fish collagen. The findings of this study provided a strong support for further research of reduction of the collagen allergenicity.

Type I collagen is the predominant collagen in the cornea with type V collagen being a quantitatively minor component. However, the content of type V collagen (10-20%) in the cornea is high when compared to other tissues containing predominantly type I collagen. The corneal stroma has a homogeneous distribution of these two collagens, however, immunochemical localization of type V collagen requires the disruption of type I collagen structure. This indicates that these collagens may be arranged as heterpolymeric fibrils. This arrangement may be responsible for the control of fibril diameter necessary for corneal transparency. The purpose of this work is to study the in vitro assembly of collagen type V and to determine whether the interactions of these collagens influence fibril morphology.
