Electrophoresis of collagens extracted from the tendons dissected from the nCH and the hCH rabbits. Patterns of migration of collagen I and collagen III chains separated in standard (a) reducing conditions (DTT) and in delayed reduction (B) conditions (d-DTT) of electrophoresis. α1(I), α2(I): specific chains of collagen I; α1(III)*: collagen III chains separated with the use of delayed-reduction conditions; β, γ: oligomers consisting of cross-linked collagen α-chains. Molecular mass markers (kDa) are also indicated
