ABSTRACT:
DNA constructs coding for a chimeric polypeptides containing fragments of cartilage matrix proteins that can bind collagen and their protein products are described. Also, the invention relates to purified chimeric polypeptides, and methods of their production and purification from transformed cells as well as their use as agents in therapeutics and clinical imaging. In addition, the invention disclosed a method for forming collagen fibrils using the chimetic polypeptide.
