[The proof of different types of collagen in the bovine eye (author's transl)].

Characteristically stained polyacrylamide gels can be obtained by disk-electrophoresis in acid medium of several tissues of the bovine eye. The technique permits to prove different types of collagen in the eye, and allows the differentiation and identification of the tissues. By these results the different tissues of the eye can be divided into three groups. 1. Tissues showing two alpha collagen components in polyacrylamide gel (cornea, sclera, iris, ciliary body, anterior lens capsule, and the pigmented epithelium of the retina). 2. Tissues possessing one alpha component only (zonula fiber and vitreous body). 3. Tissues which show neither the alpha nor the beta and gamma component of collagen (lens nucleous and retina without pigmented epithelium).
