ABSTRACT
Types III, IV, VI collagen and laminin distribution in synovial tissue of seven autopsy knee joints from old human donors (69-94 years of age) were investigated with immunocytochemical and immunohistochemical methods. The synovial intima is separated from the subintimal tissue by an intermediate fibrillar zone rich in staining for type III collagen. In the intima basement membrane-like material associated with synovial lining cells stains for type IV collagen and laminin. Fine fibrils surrounding the lining cells stain for type VI collagen. In two of the cases type VI collagen occurs mainly as long-spacing collagen, the distinct aggregated form of type VI collagen. This staining pattern was qualitatively the same in all different regions and cases investigated. However, considerable quantitative differences were seen.
