Specifications

Product Data

• Applications: ELISA, IF, IHC, R
• Recommended Dilution: ELISA: 1/200 (OD ≥ 500).
  RIA.
  Immunofluorescence: 1/80.
  Immunohistology on Frozen and Paraffin Embedded Sections.
  For paraffin: 1/400-1/1000, 60 min at RT or 2-8°C over night for human collagen type VI, lower dilution is recommended for other species).
  Positive Control: Human placenta.
  Pretreatment: After de-waxing the tissue slices are treated with 0.2% hyaluronidase (app. 300 U/mg) in TBS 15 min at 37°C. There after non-specific binding is blocked by blocking serum or 3% BSA in TBS. For peroxidase systems blocking with 1% peroxide solution in TBS for 30 min at RT is recommended.

• 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.
  Collagen type VI is found as 5-10 nm diameter microfibrils (periodicity 100 nm) e.g. in placenta, skin, cartilage and cornea.
