Application notes 
(see key)

Recommended dilutions
ELISA: 1/1000 - 1/8000.
ICC: 1/100 (PMID 19036760).
ICC/IF: Use at an assay dependent dilution (PMID 18385800).
IHC-P: Use at a concentration of 1 µg/ml. Perform heat mediated antigen retrieval before commencing with IHC staining protocol.
IHC-Fr: 1/50 - 1/200.
IP: 1/5000 - 1/10000.
WB: 1/5000 - 1/10000. Use under non-denaturing, non-reducing conditions. Detects a band of approximately 300 kDa.

This product was assayed against 1.0 ug of Collagen III in a direct ELISA using Peroxidase conjugated Goat anti-Rabbit and ABTS (2,2'-azino-bis-[3- ethylbenthiazoline-6-sulfonic acid]) as a substrate for 30 minutes at room temperature. This product can also be used with Biotin Conjugated Anti-Collagen III (ab6580) in a sandwich ELISA.

This product is not recommended for use under denaturing conditions in WB, IP, and ELISA. We would suggest testing it under native conditions.

Not yet tested in other applications.
Optimal dilutions/concentrations should be determined by the end user.

Relevance 

Collagen III is a fibrillar collagen that is found in extensible connective tissues such as skin, lung, and the vascular system, frequently in association with type I Collagen. Mutations in the gene are associated with Ehlers Danlos syndrome type IV, and with aortic and arterial aneurysms. Although alternate transcripts have been detected for this gene, they are the result of mutations; these mutations alter splicing, often leading to the exclusion of multiple exons.

Notes 

At least 11 genetically distinct gene products are collectively referred to as 'collagen types' or other proteins and proteoglycans of the extracellular matrix.
In humans, collagens are composed of about 20 unique protein chains which under go various types of post-translational modifications and are ultimately assembled into a triple helix.
This results in great diversity between collagen types.
Collagens are highly conserved throughout evolution and are characterized by an uninterrupted "Glycine-X-Y" triplet repeat that is a necessary part of the triple helical structure.
For these reasons it is often extremely difficult to generate antibodies with specificities to collagens.
The development of type specific antibodies is dependent on NON-DENATURED three-dimensional epitopes.
This preparation results in a native conformation of the protein.

Ab53088 staining Human skin. Staining is localised to the extracellular matrix.
Left panel: with primary antibody at 1 ug/ml. Right panel: isotype control.
Sections were stained using an automated system DAKO Autostainer Plus , at room temperature. Sections were rehydrated and antigen retrieved with the DAKO 3-in-1 antigen retrieval buffer citrate pH 6.0 in a DAKO PT Link. Slides were peroxidase blocked in 3% H2O2 in methanol for 10 minutes. They were then blocked with Dako Protein block for 10 minutes (containing casein 0.25% in PBS) then incubated with primary antibody for 20 minutes and detected with Dako Envision Flex amplification kit for 30 minutes. Colorimetric detection was completed with diaminobenzidine for 5 minutes. Slides were counterstained with Haematoxylin and coverslipped under DePeX. Please note that for manual staining we recommend to optimize the primary antibody concentration and incubation time (overnight incubation), and amplification may be required.
