Popis: Collagen and acidic glycosaminoglycans of the mass obtained from the wry-neck patient were examined and compared with the normal muscle. Collagen was extracted and analyzed by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, and glycosaminoglycans were analysed by acetate membrane electrophoresis. The results obtained were as follows. Collagen of the wry-neck mass and the normal muscle consisted mainly of type I collagen, whereas type III collagen was significantly detected in the wry-neck mass only. As for glycosaminoglycans dermatan sulfate and hyaluronic acid were equally found in the normal muscle, whereas dermatan sulfate was dominantly found in the wrt-neck mass, which resembled the normal skin pattern.
