Product Specifications

Immunogen

Collagen VI alpha 1 from human and bovine placenta (Uniprot: P12109)

Reactivity Notes

This antibody reacts with most mammalian Collagen VI alpha 1 and has negligible cross-reactivity with Type I, II, III, IV or V collagens. Non-specific cross-reaction of anti-collagen antibodies with other human serum proteins or non-collagen extracellular matrix proteins is negligible.

Feline reactivity reported in scientific literature (PMID: 33091431).

Localization

Extracellular matrix.

Specificity

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 Collagen VI alpha 1 and has negligible cross-reactivity with Type I, II, III, IV or V collagens. Non-specific cross-reaction of anti-collagen antibodies with other human serum proteins or non-collagen extracellular matrix proteins is negligible.

Clonality

Polyclonal

Host

Rabbit

Isotype

IgG

Description

This antibody has been prepared by immunoaffinity chromatography using immobilized antigens followed by extensive cross-adsorption against other collagens, human serum proteins and non-collagen extracellular matrix proteins to remove any unwanted specificities. 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.

Store vial at 4C prior to opening. This product is stable at 4C as an undiluted liquid. Dilute only prior to immediate use. For extended storage, mix with an equal volume of glycerol, aliquot contents and freeze at -20C or below. Avoid cycles of freezing and thawing.

Western Blot: Collagen VI alpha 1 Antibody [NB120-6588] - Purification and imaging of collagen VI microfibrils from bovine cornea. Reducing SDS-PAGE (left hand panel) and western blot (right hand panel) of the central fraction of the void peak. Collagen VI chains were detected using a polyclonal rabbit anti collagen VI antibody. Arrows highlight bands at approximately 250 kDa, which corresponds to the alpha3 chain, and at 120 kDa which corresponds to alpha1 and alpha2 chains.

Flow Cytometry: Collagen VI alpha 1 Antibody [NB120-6588] - Effect of PTX3 on morphology, collagen production, & receptor expression. After 5 days incubation with 1 ug/ml PTX3, PBMCs were air-dried, fixed, & stained with anti-collagen-I or control antibodies. (Positive staining - red staining; nuclei - blue). Bar is 50 um. Following ICC staining, at least 100 elongated cells with oval nuclei were examined from at least 10 randomly selected fields, & the % of positive cells is expressed as mean +/- SEM (n = 3-5 donors). Supernatants from PBMC incubated in the absence (-) or presence (+) of 1 ug/ml PTX3 assessed by western blot. Adherent cells (macrophages & fibrocytes) were stained with collagen-VI (teal line SFM, red +PTX3) or control IgY (black SFM, orange +PTX3) antibodies. The data are representative of three separate experiments.

Background: Collagen VI alpha 1

This antibody is well suited to detect extracellular matrix proteins in normal as well as disease state tissues. Disruption of tissue organization is the hallmark of neoplasia. Malignant lesions can be distinguished from benign by examining the breakdown of basement membranes and loss of 3-dimensional architecture. Malignant cells are presumed to use matrix metalloproteases to degrade barriers created by the extracellular matrix which then allows metastasis to occur. Collagenases, stomelysins and gelatinases can collectively degrade all of the various components of the extracellular matrix, including fibrillar and non-fibrillar collagens and basement membrane glycoproteins.
