Summary The antibody recognizes the mucin epitope g located in the peptide core of gastric mucin (>1,000 kDa). This epitope is completely destroyed by thiol reduction (using mercaptoethanol) and partially lost following trypsin proteolysis, but is stable upon periodate oxidation. The antibody stains the surface gastric epithelium of normal human gastrointestinal tract and reacts with fetal, pre-cancerous and cancerous colonic mucosa, but not with normal colon.

Summary Some class-specific anti-collagens may be specific for three-dimensional epitopes which may result in diminished reactivity with denatured collagen or formalin-fixed, paraffin embedded tissues. This antibody reacts with most mammalian Type III collagens and has expected cross-reactivity with Type I and negligible cross reactivity with Type II, IV, V or VI collagens.
