ANTI-COLLAGEN TYPE VI ANTIBODY CLONE VI-26

Specificity

Specifically reacts with the hCL(VI). This is a purified mouse monoclonal antibody to human type VI collagen. VI-26 does not react with denatured or reduced type VI collagen, although this antibody does recognize the the triple helix consisting of alpha1(VI), alpha 2(VI) alpha3(gamma). The epitope has not been mapped and the monoclonal is know not to react with collagens I, II, III, IV or V in native assays.

Application

Anti-Collagen Type VI Antibody, clone VI-26 detects level of Collagen Type VI & has been published & validated for use in ELISA, IH(P).
