It was shown previously that periodate oxidation of collagen carbohydrate does not affect its ability to aggregate platelets. An additional characterization of periodate-modified collagen is described which demonstrates that collagen devoid of intact carbohydrate is fully capable of fibril formation, and its capacity to initiate platelet [human] aggregation was confirmed. Platelet aggregating abilities of Types I, II, and III fibrillar collagen are quite similar despite differences in carbohydrate content and amino acid sequence. Monomeric, pepsin-solubilized Type I human collagen was ineffective in inhibiting aggregation by preformed fibrils derived from the same molecule, establishing that the affinity of platelets for collagen depends upon prior polymerization of collagen. The hydroxylysyl glycoside regions of collagen are apparently not highly specific sites involved in platelet-collagen interactions leading to physiological aggregation, and the possiblity must be considered that multiple interactions involving collagen sites of comparatively low structural specificity may be the initiating events in release of platelet ADP and the ensuing aggregation.
