Anti-Collagen I antibody

Anti-Collagen I antibody (ab34710) is stable at 4°C as an undiluted liquid. Dilute only prior to immediate use. For extended storage, mix with an equal volume of glycerol, aliquot contents and freeze at -20° C or below.

This collagen antibody was developed using non-denatured 3D epitopes, you must be careful not to denature the collagen protein during your experiment.

PLEASE READ THESE IMPORTANT PROTOCOL TIPS, clickhere for the english version or here for the mandarin version.

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.
