Human Pro-Collagen I alpha 1 ELISA Kit

Pro-Collagen I alpha 1 ELISA kit (ab210966) is designed for the quantitative measurement of human Pro-Collagen I alpha 1 / Pro-Collagen I N-Terminal Propeptide (PINP) in serum, plasma, cell culture supernatants, and cell and tissue extract samples. It uses our proprietary SimpleStep ELISA® technology. Quantitate Human Pro-Collagen I alpha 1 with 5.3 pg/mL sensitivity.

SimpleStep ELISA® technology 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. Our SimpleStep ELISA® technology provides several benefits:

-Single-wash protocol reduces assay time to 90 minutes or less
-High sensitivity, specificity and reproducibility from superior antibodies
-Fully validated in biological samples
-96-wells plate breakable into 12 x 8 wells strips

A 384-well SimpleStep ELISA® microplate (ab203359) is available to use as an alternative to the 96-well microplate provided with SimpeStep ELISA® kits.

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.

SPECIES REACTIVITY This kit recognizes human Pro-Collagen I alpha 1 protein. Other species reactivity was determined by measuring 1:100 (dilution) serum samples of various species, interpolating the protein concentrations from the human standard curve, and expressing the interpolated concentrations as a percentage of the protein concentration in human serum assayed at the same dilution.
Reactivity < 3% was determined for the following species: Mouse, Rat, Cow

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.
