Scientific Data Images for Mouse Collagen II Antibody

Collagen II antibody in Mouse Chondrocytes by Immunocytochemistry (ICC).

Collagen II in Mouse Chondrocytes.

Collagen II was detected in immersion fixed mouse mesenchymal stem cell-differentiated chondrocytes using 10 µg/mL Sheep Anti-Mouse Collagen II Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF3615) for 3 hours at room temperature. Cells were stained with the NorthernLights™ 557-conjugated Anti-Sheep IgG Secondary Antibody (red; Catalog # NL010) and counterstained with DAPI (blue).

Background: Collagen II

Mouse Type II Collagen is a 100 kDa fibrillar collagen found in cartilage, vitreous body and vertebral disk. It is synthesized as a 1459 amino acid (aa) preproprecursor that contains an N-terminal and a C-terminal proregion. Intracellularly, type II Collagen homotrimerizes into a fibril and is then secreted. The proregions are then cleaved by procollagenases and the processed homotrimer covalently crosslinks to other type II fibrils. Mature mouse Collagen II shares 95% and 98% aa sequence identity with human and rat Collagen II, respectively.
