It has been difficult to separate and characterize collagen from muscle because of its relative paucity in this tissue. Here, a comprehensive methodology is presented, combining methods previously described by McCollester (1962) and Laurent, Cockerill, McAnulty and Hastings (1981), in which the 3 major tracts of [bovine] muscle connective tissue, the epimysium, perimysium and endomysium, may be prepared and separated from the bulk of muscle protein. Connective tissue thus prepared may be washed with salt and treated with pepsin to liberate soluble native collagen, or can be washed with sodium dodecyl sulfate to produce a very clean insoluble collagenous product. This latter type of preparation may be used for quantification of the ratio of the major genetic forms of collagen or for measurement of reducible cross-link content to give reproducible results. Both the epimysium and perimysium contain type-I collagen as the major component and type-III collagen as a minor component; perimysium also contained traces of type-V collagen. The endomysium, the sheaths of individual muscle fibers, was shown to contain type-I and type-III collagen as major components. Type-V collagens was also present in small amounts, and type-IV collagen, the collagenous component of basement membranes, was purified from endomysial preparations. This is the 1st biochemical demonstration of the presence of type-IV collagen in muscle endomysium. The preparation was very similar to other type-IV collagens from other basement membranes on sodium dodecyl sulfate/polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis and was indistinguishable from EHS sarcoma collagen and placenta type-IV collagen in the EM after rotary shadowing.
