Immunogen: Purified collagen type I from Tuna Fish skin

Description: Collagens consist in a family of highly specialized glycoproteins of which at least 16genetically distinct types are known to date. The basal unit of a collagen molecule cosistsin a tripel-helical structure formed by 3 alpha-chains. Predominant amino acids areglycine, proline and hydroxproline. Regularly also lysines and hydroxylysines occur, whichare responsible for cross-linkage and glycosylation of the protein chains. Differentcomposition of alpha-chains and different glycosylation contribute to the high variability ofcollagens in different tissues and organs. Type I collagen (95 kDa) is found in bone, cornea, skin and tendon.

Specificity: This antibody is specific for Fish Collagen type I (Tuna Fish). Species: Tuna Fish, other bony Fish. Others not tested.

Application Details

Application Notes: ELISA. RIA. Immunofluorescence: 1/40. Immunohistochemistry on Paraffin Sections: 1/200-1/600 for 60 min at RT or 2-8°C overnight. Positive control: Tuna Fish skin. Pretreatment: After de-waxing the tissue slices they are treated with 0.2% hyaluronidase(app.300 U/mg) in TBS 15 min at 37°C. There after non-specific binding is blocked byblocking serum or 3% BSA in TBS. For peroxidase systems blocking with 1% peroxidesolution in TBS for 30 min at RT is recommended. Other applications not tested. Optimal dilutions are dependent on conditions and should be determined by the user.

Concentration: Approx. 1 mg/ml (after reconstitution)

Buffer: Phosphate Buffered solution, no BSA and preservative addedReconstitution: restore with 0.1 ml distilled water, for further dilution use appropriateantibody diluent

Storage: Store the antibody undiluted at 2-8°C for one month or (in aliquots) at -20°C for longer. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing. Shelf life: one year from despatch.

Research Area: Extracellular Matrix
