Type II is the predominant collagen found in hyaline cartilage [1, 2] but a small proportion of 3 additional polypeptide chains have been isolated and partially characterised. The composition of two of the new components, lo and 2o was reported [3] to resemble the CUA and aB chains of type V [4], whilst the third chain, 3a, was shown to be similar to type (~(11) minor prepared from bovine cartilage [5]. The molecular composition of these 3 chains is down, and micro-analysis of the cartilage failed to reveal a spatial distribution of these new collagen types. Although several other types of fibrous collagen have been reported in various tissues [6], and more recently some disulphide bonded molecules in basement membrane collagen [7-91, none of these has been identified in cartilage. This communication reports the isolation and partial characterisation of a novel collagen type from neonatal pig hyaline cartilage which, unlike the la, 2ar and 3o components [3], is reduced to smaller fra~ ents by mer~ ptoet~ nol, indicating that the chain is stabilised by intra-chain disulphide bonds.
