Collagen Type II

• Reactivity:

  Bovine, Human, Mouse, Rat, Sheep

• Storage Conditions:

  May be stored at 4 degree C for short-term only. Aliquot to avoid repeated freezing and thawing. Store at -20 degree C. Aliquots are stable for 12 months after receipt. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap.

• Specificity:

  Recognizes human Collagen Type II. Typically less than 1% crossreactivity against other types of collagens was detected by ELISA against puri?ed standards. Some class speci?c anti-collagens may be speci?c for three-dimensional epitopes which may result in diminished reactivity with denatured collagen or formalin-?xed, paraf?n embedded tissues. Recognizes most mammalian Type II collagens and has negligible crossreactivity with Type I, III, IV, V or VI collagens. Non-speci?c crossreaction of anti-collagen antibodies with other human serum proteins or non-collagen extracellular matrix proteins is negligible. Species Crossreactivity: mouse, rat, bovine and sheep.

• Short Name:

  [Collagen Type II]
