A new procedure was developed to isolate a distinct bovine collagen fraction which contains .alpha.A and .alpha.B chains. This fraction was obtained first from the bovine amnion and chorion, and the method was subsequently applied to the pepsin-solubilized collagens dissolved from cornea, tendon, skin, dura, nerve endoneurium and cartilage. EM reveals a single type of segment long-spacing crystallite, identical in staining characteristics with the type VI segments previously distinguished among the collagens in bovine Descemet''s membrane and heart valve. The .alpha.A and .alpha.B chains were inseparable on carboxymethylcellulose but were resolved by hydroxyapatite chromatography. The .alpha.A to .alpha.B chain ratio was 1:1.78. Amino acid analysis demonstrated that the compositions of the .alpha.A and .alpha.B chains are distinguishable and similar to analyses published for the homologous chains from human collagen. No cysteine or disulfide linkages were detected. Alkaline hydrolysate analysis of both chains for sugar residues indicated that 84% of the hydroxylysines in .alpha.B and 45% in .alpha.A are glycosylated. The native collagen is apparently resistant to mammalian collagenase. The .alpha.A and .alpha.B chains are evidently both present in a native .alpha.A(.alpha.B)2 molecule because when isolated from various tissues this collagen consistently contains the .alpha.A and .alpha.B chains in a ratio approximating 1:2, only a single type of segment long-spacing aggregate could be detected by EM in these preparations and both chains are resistant to collagenase.
