• Recommended Dilution: RIA.
  ELISA: 1/200 (OD > 500).
  Immunofluorescence Assays: 1/80.
  Immunohistochemistry on Paraffin Sections: 1/500.
  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.

• Background: Collagens consist in a family of highly specialized glycoproteins of which at least 16 genetically distinct types are known to date. The basal unit of a collagen molecule cosists in a tripel-helical structure formed by 3 alpha-chains. Predominant amino acids are glycine, proline and hydroxproline. Regularly also lysines and hydroxylysines occur, which are responsible for cross-linkage and glycosylation of the protein chains. Different composition of alpha-chains and different glycosylation contribute to the high variability of collagens in different tissues and organs.
  Type IV Collagen (170-180 kDa), is a non-fibrilary network of different alpha-chains. It is typically found in basal membranes of different organs (e.g. skin, lens, lung, renals).
