[PDF][PDF] Pericytes as collagen-producing cells in excessive dermal scarring

C Sundberg, M Ivarsson, B Gerdin… - Laboratory …, 1996 - researchgate.net
Immunohistochemistry and image analysis were performed on sections from excessive
dermal scar formation to investigate the potential of pericytes to differentiate into collagen-
producing cells. Expression of the prolyl-4-hydroxylase 3-subunit (P-4-H) was used as a
marker for collagen synthesis as the distribution of this protein was identical to the
distribution of procollagen type| C-propeptide and similar to the distribution of cells
expressing pro a 1 () collagen mRNA. Double immunofluorescence stainings using …
