Human placental collagen type III

ELISA 1:3,000

Indirect immunofluorescence on cryostat sections or cultured cells 1:20-1:40

Optimal working dilutions must be determined by the end user.

This Anti-Collagen Type III Antibody is validated for use in ELISA, IF for the detection of Collagen Type III.

The antibody reacts with native and heat denatured (non-reduced) human collagen type III. Cross reactions with other types of collagen under native conditions do occur. There is 10% cross reactivity with human collagen type I, 2% cross reactivity with human collagen type II, and 4% cross reactivity with human collagen type IV and V. There is no cross reactivity with other human plasma proteins under native ELISA conditions. Reactivity under denatured conditions has not been examined.



Cross Reactivity Percent

Human collagen type I 10%

Human collagen type II 2%

Human collagen type III 100%

Human collagen type IV and V 4%



Human plasma proteins do not interfere with binding to collagen.

500ul containing of 0.15M NaCl, 10 mM sodium phosphate pH 7.5, with 0.1% mannitol and o.1% dextran as stabilizers contains no preservatives.

Immunoglobulin fraction was prepared by ammonium sulfate precipitation and chromatography on DEAE-cellulose, of antiserum cross-absorbed over immobilized human serum proteins, immunoglobulins, and collagen types I, II, IV and V.
