General description

Monoclonal Anti-Collagen Type IV (mouse IgG1 isotype) is derived from the COL-94 hybridoma produced by the fusion of mouse myeloma cells and splenocytes from BALB/c mice immunized with human collagen Type IV.
The composition of the extracellular matrix of all vertebrates is dominated by a class of molecules known as collagens, each with a unique feature suited to its function and location. Type IV collagen is a major constituent of basement membranes. This molecule is a continuous triple helix, about 400 nm in length, composed of at least two different α chain subunits termed α1 (IV) and α2 (IV) which may be composed of the same or different molecules. Upon proteolysis, fragments of 125 kDa, 95 kDa, and 60 kDa are released from a parent α1 (IV) chain, whereas fragments of 115 kDa, 80 kDa, and 45 kDa apparently originate from a distinct α2 (IV) chain.

Specificity

Using immunohistochemical staining of basal laminae, the antibody recognizes an epitope located on the α1 and/or α2 chains of human collagen type IV. The antibody shows reactivity with native primate collagen type IV in ELISA and dot blot assay. Using the dot blot technique, the antibody shows no cross-reactivity with human collagen types I, II, III, V, VI and VII, human vitronectin, fibronectin and chondroitin sulfate types A, B and C.

Immunogen

human collagen type IV

Application

Monoclonal Anti-Collagen, Type IV antibody produced in mouse has been used in
  • indirect immunolabeling
  • immunofluorescence staining
  • western blotting
  • immunohistochemistry
  • immunocytochemistry

Biochem/physiol Actions

Collagens are known to have multiple functions. They are involved in tissue differentiation, morphogenesis and repair; play a role in the maintenance of tissue architecture; and form the filtration barrier of blood vessels.

Normal aging is characterized by declines in processing speed, learning, memory, and executive function even in the absence of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's Disease (AD). In normal aging monkeys and humans, neuronal loss does not account for cognitive impairment.

The extracellular matrix (ECM) is a key regulator of cell and tissue function. Traditionally, the ECM has been thought of primarily as a physical scaffold that binds cells and tissues together. However, the ECM also elicits biochemical and biophysical signaling.
