COL2A1 Antibody

SKU: orb345348

Description

CO1A2 antibody

Images & Validation

• Tested Applications: DOT, ELISA, IHC, IP, WB
• Dilution Range: ELISA: 1:5,000 - 1:50,000, IHC: 1:50 - 1:400, IP: 1:100, WB: 1:1,000 - 1:10,000
• Reactivity: Bovine, Human
• Application Notes:
  Anti-Collagen Type II has been tested by dot blot and IHC and is suitable for indirect trapping ELISA for quantitation of antigen in serum using a standard curve, immunoprecipitation, immunohistochemistry, native (non-denaturing, non-dissociating) PAGE, and western blotting for highly sensitive qualitative analysis.

Key Properties

• Antibody Type: Primary Antibody
• Host: Rabbit
• Clonality: Polyclonal
• Isotype: IgG
• Immunogen: Collagen Type II from human knee cartilage and bovine nasal cartilage.
• Target: COL2A1
• Purity: Collagen II Antibody has been prepared by immunoaffinity chromatography using immobilized antigens followed by extensive cross-adsorption against other collagens. 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 II collagens and has expected cross-reactivity with Type IV and VI and negligible cross reactivity to Type I, III and V collagens. Non-specific cross reaction of anti-collagen antibodies with other human serum proteins or non-collagen extracellular matrix proteins has not been tested.
• Conjugation: Unconjugated

Storage & Handling

• Storage: Store vial at -20° C or below prior to opening. This vial contains a relatively low volume of reagent (25 µL). To minimize loss of volume dilute 1:10 by adding 225 µL of the buffer stated above directly to the vial. Recap, mix thoroughly and briefly centrifuge to collect the volume at the bottom of the vial. Use this intermediate dilution when calculating final dilutions as recommended below. Store the vial at -20°C or below after dilution. Avoid cycles of freezing and thawing.
• Form/Appearance: Liquid (sterile filtered)
• Buffer/Preservatives: Preservative: 0.01% (w/v) Sodium Azide. Stabilizer: None; Buffer: 0.02 M Potassium Phosphate, 0.15 M Sodium Chloride, pH 7.2
• Concentration: 1.0 mg/mL
• Expiration Date: 12 months from date of receipt.
• Dry Ice Shipping: Please note: This product requires shipment on dry ice. A dry ice surcharge will apply.

Biorbyt anti collagen II antibody (1:400, 45 min RT) showed moderate staining of in FFPE human bronchiolar cartilage (shown in image). Though not shown, faint to moderate staining of tonsillar squamous epithelium, prostatic stroma, breast, colon, placenta, and dermal connective tissues was also observed. All other tissues, including brain, breast epithelium, colon epithelium, heart, intestine, kidney, liver, lung, skeletal muscle, pancreas, spleen, testis, thymus, thyroid, and uterus were negative for staining Slides were steamed in 0.01 M sodium citrate buffer, pH6.0 at 99-100°C - 20 minutes for antigen retrieval.
