Overview

  • Product nameAnti-Collagen I antibodySee all Collagen I primary antibodies ...
  • Description
    Rabbit polyclonal to Collagen I
  • SpecificityTypically less than 1% cross reactivity against other types of collagens was detected by ELISA against purified standards. Some class specific anti-collagens may be specific for three-dimensional epitopes which may result in diminished reactivity with denatured collagen or formalin-fixed, paraffin embedded tissues. This antibody reacts with most mammalian Type I collagens and has negligible cross-reactivity with Type II, III, IV, V or VI collagens. Non-specific cross-reaction of anti-collagen antibodies with other human serum proteins or non-collagen extracellular matrix proteins is negligible.
  • Tested applicationsIHC-Fr, Indirect ELISA, WB, ELISA, IHC-P, ICC, IP more details
  • Species reactivity
    Reacts with: Mouse, Rat, Goat, Horse, Cow, Human
  • Immunogen

    Full length protein - Collagen Type I from human and bovine placenta

  • Positive controlWistar Rat hepatic stellate cell lysate [GFP transduced], for Western blotting.
  • General notes


    It is often extremely difficult to generate antibodies with specificities to collagens due to the uninterrupted "Glycine-X-Y" triplet repeat that is a necessary part of the triple helical structure. The development of type specific antibodies is dependent on NON-DENATURED three-dimensional epitopes - this may result in diminished reactivity of some antibodies with denatured collagen or formalin-fixed, paraffin embedded tissues. Anti-Collagen antibodies have been used for indirect trapping ELISA for quantitation of antigen in serum using a standard curve, for immunoprecipitation and for native (non-denaturing, non-dissociating) PAGE and western blotting for highly sensitive qualitative analysis.

Applications

Our Abpromise guarantee covers the use of ab34710 in the following tested applications.

The application notes include recommended starting dilutions; optimal dilutions/concentrations should be determined by the end user.

Application Notes
IHC-Fr IHC-Fr: 1/50 - 1/200.
Indirect ELISA I-ELISA: 1/5000 - 1/50000.
WB WB: 1/5000 - 1/10000. This product is not recommended for use under denaturing conditions in WB, IP, and ELISA. We would suggest testing it under native conditions. Denaturing and reducing conditions will greatly diminish reactivity and selectivity of this antibody.
ELISA ELISA: Use at an assay dependent concentration.
IHC-P IHC-P: Use at an assay dependent dilution.
ICC ICC: 1/100.
IP IP: Use at an assay dependent dilution.

Target

  • FunctionType I collagen is a member of group I collagen (fibrillar forming collagen).
  • Tissue specificityForms the fibrils of tendon, ligaments and bones. In bones the fibrils are mineralized with calcium hydroxyapatite.
  • Involvement in diseaseDefects in COL1A1 are the cause of Caffey disease (CAFFD) [MIM:114000]; also known as infantile cortical hyperostosis. Caffey disease is characterized by an infantile episode of massive subperiosteal new bone formation that typically involves the diaphyses of the long bones, mandible, and clavicles. The involved bones may also appear inflamed, with painful swelling and systemic fever often accompanying the illness. The bone changes usually begin before 5 months of age and resolve before 2 years of age.
    Defects in COL1A1 are a cause of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome type 1 (EDS1) [MIM:130000]; also known as Ehlers-Danlos syndrome gravis. EDS is a connective tissue disorder characterized by hyperextensible skin, atrophic cutaneous scars due to tissue fragility and joint hyperlaxity. EDS1 is the severe form of classic Ehlers-Danlos syndrome.
    Defects in COL1A1 are the cause of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome type 7A (EDS7A) [MIM:130060]; also known as autosomal dominant Ehlers-Danlos syndrome type VII. EDS is a connective tissue disorder characterized by hyperextensible skin, atrophic cutaneous scars due to tissue fragility and joint hyperlaxity. EDS7A is marked by bilateral congenital hip dislocation, hyperlaxity of the joints, and recurrent partial dislocations.
    Defects in COL1A1 are a cause of osteogenesis imperfecta type 1 (OI1) [MIM:166200]. A dominantly inherited connective tissue disorder characterized by bone fragility and blue sclerae. Osteogenesis imperfecta type 1 is non-deforming with normal height or mild short stature, and no dentinogenesis imperfecta.
    Defects in COL1A1 are a cause of osteogenesis imperfecta type 2A (OI2A) [MIM:166210]; also known as osteogenesis imperfecta congenita. A connective tissue disorder characterized by bone fragility, with many perinatal fractures, severe bowing of long bones, undermineralization, and death in the perinatal period due to respiratory insufficiency.
    Defects in COL1A1 are a cause of osteogenesis imperfecta type 3 (OI3) [MIM:259420]. A connective tissue disorder characterized by progressively deforming bones, very short stature, a triangular face, severe scoliosis, grayish sclera, and dentinogenesis imperfecta.
    Defects in COL1A1 are a cause of osteogenesis imperfecta type 4 (OI4) [MIM:166220]; also known as osteogenesis imperfecta with normal sclerae. A connective tissue disorder characterized by moderately short stature, mild to moderate scoliosis, grayish or white sclera and dentinogenesis imperfecta.
    Genetic variations in COL1A1 are a cause of susceptibility to osteoporosis (OSTEOP) [MIM:166710]; also known as involutional or senile osteoporosis or postmenopausal osteoporosis. Osteoporosis is characterized by reduced bone mass, disruption of bone microarchitecture without alteration in the composition of bone. Osteoporotic bones are more at risk of fracture.
    Note=A chromosomal aberration involving COL1A1 is found in dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans. Translocation t(17;22)(q22;q13) with PDGF.
  • Sequence similaritiesBelongs to the fibrillar collagen family.
    Contains 1 fibrillar collagen NC1 domain.
    Contains 1 VWFC domain.
  • Post-translational
    modifications
    Proline residues at the third position of the tripeptide repeating unit (G-X-Y) are hydroxylated in some or all of the chains. Proline residues at the second position of the tripeptide repeating unit (G-X-Y) are hydroxylated in some of the chains.
    O-linked glycan consists of a Glc-Gal disaccharide bound to the oxygen atom of a post-translationally added hydroxyl group.

Thank you for contacting Abcam.

I think the antibodies should be fine if they were only at +10C for that short a period of time. Most of our antibodies will remain stable at room temperature for up to 7 days without any negative effect.
