Notes

Human Pro-Collagen I alpha 1 ELISA Kit ab210966 is a rapid single-wash 90-min ELISA kit to measure Human Pro-Collagen I alpha 1 in cell culture extracts, tissue extracts, cell culture supernatant, serum and plasma. This SimpleStep ELISA® sensitivity is 5.3 pg/mL.

How the assay works

Human Pro-Collagen I alpha 1 SimpleStep ELISA® employs capture antibodies conjugated to an affinity tag that is recognized by the monoclonal antibody used to coat our SimpleStep ELISA® plates. This approach to sandwich ELISA allows the formation of the antibody-analyte sandwich complex in a single step, significantly reducing assay time. See the SimpleStep ELISA® protocol summary in the image section for further details.

Assay Specificity

This kit recognizes both native and recombinant human Pro-Collagen I alpha 1 protein in serum, plasma, cell culture supernatant, and cell and tissue extract samples only.

Human Pro-Collagen I alpha 1 ELISA Kit ab210966 protocol summary:

1. Mix: add samples/standards to the wells together with the capture and detector antibody cocktail. Incubate for 1 hr at room temperature
2. Wash
3. Add TMB development solution - incubate for 10 min
4. Add stop solution
5. Read the results on a plate reader at 450nm

Related and recommended products

Human Pro-Collagen I alpha 1/COL1A1 ELISA kit ab210966 is commonly used to study tissue structure and function. Human Pro-Collagen 1 alpha 1 is a component of the extracellular matrix (ECM).

Other ELISA kits to measure the ECM and its role in tissue function include:

- Human MMP1 ELISA kit Human MMP1 ELISA Kit ab215083
- Human Elastin ELISA kit Human Elastin ELISA Kit ab239433

The antibodies in this kit are generated against Pro-Collagen I N-Terminal Propeptide (PINP). Type I collagen is the most abundant structural protein of connective tissues such as skin, bone and tendon. It is synthesized as a pro-collagen molecule that is characterized by a 300 nm triple helical domain flanked by globular N- and C-terminal propeptides. Specifically, human Pro-Collagen I alpha 1 consists of a signal peptide (amino acids (aa) 1-22), a propeptide (aa 23-161), the mature chain (aa 162-1218), and another propeptide (aa 1219 – 1464). The non-helical propeptides are removed by procollagen N- and C-proteinase activities so that the mature triple helices can self-assemble into collagen fibrils that provide tensile strength to tissues.

    Interpolated concentrations of native Pro-Collagen I alpha 1 in human serum and plasma samples.

    The concentrations of Pro-Collagen I alpha 1 were measured in duplicates, interpolated from the Pro-Collagen I alpha 1 standard curves and corrected for sample dilution. Undiluted samples are as follows: serum 1%, plasma (citrate) 1%, plasma (EDTA) 1%, and plasma (heparin) 1%. The interpolated dilution factor corrected values are plotted (mean +/- SD, n=2). The mean Pro-Collagen I alpha 1 concentration was determined to be 142.1 ng/mL in serum, 135.9 ng/mL in plasma (citrate), 112.1 ng/mL in plasma (EDTA) and 102.1 ng/mL in plasma (heparin).
