Notes
Human Collagen VII Antibody Pair - BSA and Azide free (ab307906) is a matched pair of unconjugated recombinant rabbit monoclonal capture and detection antibodies used to quantify human collagen VII in sandwich ELISAs and many other pair-based applications.
Our RabMAb® technology is a patented hybridoma-based technology for making rabbit monoclonal antibodies. For details on our patents, please refer to RabMAb® patents.
Use our conjugation kits for antibody conjugates that are ready-to-use in as little as 20 minutes with <1 minute hands-on-time and 100% antibody recovery: available for fluorescent dyes, HRP, biotin and gold.
The pair can be used in variety of assays and platforms including but not limited to:
- Sandwich ELISA
- FRET/TR-FRET/HTRF
- Meso Scale Discovery® (MSD®)
- Bead-based assays
- AlphaLISA®/AlphaScreen®
- DELFIA® immunoassays
- Simoa® and Single Molecule Counting (SMC™) immunoassays
- Multiplex
Our antibody pairs are supplied in a carrier-free format that is conjugation-ready:
- Buffer free of BSA, sodium azide, and glycerol for higher conjugation efficiency.
- Concentration of ~1 mg/ml as measured by the protein A280 method.
We can label antibodies for you: get in touch today to discuss how we can help accelerate your assay development with custom conjugation services.
Pairs are screened in biological samples, including plasma and serum, to ensure specificity in complex samples.
Please note:
The recommended antibody orientation is based on internal optimization in sandwich ELISA. Antibody orientation is assay dependent and needs to be optimized for each assay type.
The range provided for this antibody pair is based on initial sandwich ELISA validation data using recombinant protein. Performance and range of the antibody pair will depend on the specific characteristics of your assay, including standard protein selection.
We guarantee the product works in sandwich ELISA, but we do not guarantee the sensitivity or dynamic range of the antibodies in other assays.

- Activity summary
Collagen VII also known as collagen type VII or collagen 7 is an important structural component of the extracellular matrix. It measures approximately 290 kDa in mass. Researchers identified it chiefly in stratified squamous epithelia and the basement membrane zone of the skin. Collagen VII plays a mechanical role as anchoring fibrils maintaining skin integrity by attaching the dermal tissue to the epidermal basement membrane. In marmoset dermal tissue similar functions are observed indicating a conserved role in primates.
- Biological function summary
Collagen VII forms part of a larger complex known as anchoring fibrils. These fibrils play an essential role in providing structural support and maintaining mechanical stability of tissues. The protein enhances the connection between the epidermis and dermis preventing separation between these layers. Its presence signifies the maintenance of tissue integrity and resilience critical for normal skin function.
- Pathways
Collagen type VII interacts within the epidermal basement membrane zone part of the broader extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling pathway. It collaborates with other ECM components like collagen type I and collagen type III which all contribute to skin strength and elasticity. The interplay between these collagens ensures the continuous renewal and repair of skin tissues essential for wound healing and overall skin health.
- Associated diseases and disorders
Collagen VII mutations or deficiencies lead to dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (DEB) a genetic skin condition characterized by severe blistering. This disorder arises from defective anchoring fibril formation causing skin layers to separate easily. The interplay between collagen VII and other collagens like collagen type I becomes compromised exacerbating tissue fragility. Understanding these interactions provides insight into targeted treatments and management strategies for DEB.
