Abstract:
:X-ray diffraction and polarized light microscopy studies were carried out on a fibrous capsule to examine the collagen organization produced in a granuloma response. The capsule had been formed around a silicone tube covered with polyester mesh following implantation in a sheep. The fibrous capsule has previously been shown to include a substantial amount of type III collagen, in addition to type I collagen. Whereas granulomas generally show little order, the sample in the present study has a high degree of orientation of the collagen fibrils along the tube direction. X-ray diffraction patterns of the capsule showed an axial D period near 65 nm, a value similar to that of other type III collagen-containing tissues. This axial period is less than the 67 nm period seen in tendon and bone, which contain only type I collagen. The decreased D period is consistent with an increase in the tilting of the collagen molecules with respect to the fibril axis.
