Collagen IV antibody [MSVA-704R] HistoMAX™ Cat No. GTX04434

Recombinant antibody HistoMAX

Summary Highly recommended for IHC-P in human tissues. Autostainer protocol information available

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.

Summary Type III collagen, [a1(III)]3 ,is an approx. 300 kDa molecule, found predominantly in skin, blood vessels, liver, placenta, tongue, and thymus. Collagen type III forms cofibrils with type I and/or V collagens in a number of tissues of mesenchymal origin, such as skin, tendon, ligaments, and bone. This collagen type is involved, directly or indirectly in several genetic diseases, including Ehlers-Danlos type IV disease.
