摘要
Detailed methodology is described for the reproducible preparation of collagen-glycosaminoglycan (GAG) membranes with known chemical composition. Purified, fully native collagen from two mammalian sources is precipitated from acid dispersion by addition of chondroitin 6-sulfate. The relative amount of GAG in the coprecipitate varies with the amount of GAG added and with the pH. Since coprecipitated GAG is generally eluted from collagen fibers by physiological fluids, control of the chemical composition of membranes is arrived at by crosslinking the collagen-GAG ionic complex with glutaraldehyde, or, alternately, by use of high-temperature vacuum dehydration. Collagen-GAG membranes appear to be useful as chemically well-characterized, solid macromolecular probes of biomaterial-tissue interactions.
