Gene Information

human ... COL4A1(1282)

Specificity

Antibody reacts with native and heat denatured human type IV collagen. Less than 10% cross reactivity with collagen types I, III, and V, and less than 1% with human collagen II. Antiserum was passed over immobilized human blood plasma proteins, and human collagen types I, III, and V. Human plasma proteins do not interfere with binding to collagen.

Immunogen

Purified human placental collagen type IV

Application

Anti-Collagen Type IV Antibody detects level of Collagen Type IV & has been published & validated for use in ELISA, IH.
ELISA on human collagen type IV: 1:3,000

Indirect immunofluorescent visualization of collagen type IV on cryostat sections of human tissue: 1:20-1:40, fresh frozen or acetone fixed specimens only.

Dot and slot blots: 1:300.

Not recommended for use in Western blot, or for use on paraffin-embedded tissue sections.

Optimal working dilutions must be determined by the end user.

No reliable, non-invasive biomarker of metastatic breast cancer (mBC) exists: circulating CA15-3 (cCA15-3) is the marker mostly used to monitor mBC. Circulating collagen IV (cCOLIV) has been evaluated in other metastatic cancers and has been found to be a promising
