Collagen IV

The collagen family is composed of several chain types, including fibril-forming interstitial collagens (types I, II, III and V) and basement membrane collagens (type IV), each type containing multiple isoforms. Collagens are fibrous, extracellular matrix proteins with high tensile strength and are the major components of connective tissue, such as tendons and cartilage. All collagens contain a triple helix domain and frequently show lateral selfassociation in order to form complex connective tissues. Several collagens also play a role in cell adhesion, important for maintaining normal tissue architecture and function, such as bone strength and platelet activation.\n\nApplications: \nSuitable for use in ELISA, Western Blot and Immunohistochemistry. Other applications not tested.\n\nRecommended Dilutions:\nImmunohistochemistry (Frozen, paraffin): 1:1000 on formalin fixed, paraffin embedded and enzyme treated human tongue sections.\nOptimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.\n\nStorage and Stability:\nMay be stored at 4 degrees C for short-term only. Aliquot to avoid repeated freezing and thawing. Store at -20 degrees C. Aliquots are stable for 12 months. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap.

Additional Info

Recognizes native, undenatured human Collagen IV . Using immunohistochemical staining of basal laminae, recognizes an epitope located on the alpha1 and/or alpha2 chains of human Collagen IV. Does not crossreact with human collagen types I, II, III, V, VI, or VII. Does not react with human vitronectin, fibronectin or chondroitin sulfate types A, B and C. \nSpecies Crossreactivity: primate
