Anti type 4 collagen antibody

Manufactured by Abcam
Sourced in United Kingdom, United States

Anti-type IV collagen antibody is a laboratory reagent used to detect and quantify type IV collagen, a major structural component of basement membranes. This antibody can be used in various immunoassay techniques to investigate type IV collagen expression and distribution in biological samples.

Immunoblot assay was performed, as previously described [25 (link)]. (1) anti-VEGF-A antibody (Abcam, Cambridge, UK), (2) anti-VEGFR2 antibody (Cell Signaling), (3) anti-type IV collagen antibody (Abcam), (4) monoclonal anti-human VASH2 antibody (clone 1760; provided by Tohoku University, Sendai, Japan), and (5) monoclonal anti-β-actin antibody (Sigma-Aldrich) were used as primary antibodies. Among these, anti-type IV collagen antibody was used under non-reducing condition. HRP-conjugated anti-rabbit or mouse IgG antibodies (Cell Signaling) were served as secondary antibodies. Images were obtained with ImageQuant LAS 4000 (GE Healthcare, Pittsburgh PA).

Immunohistochemical Evaluation of Collagen

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Consecutive 4-μm sections were immunohistochemically stained using the immunoperoxidase technique described previously[13 (link)]. Anti-type IV collagen antibody and anti-type III collagen antibody (Abcam, Cambridge, MA, United States) were used at a concentration of 0.2 μg/mL. Secondary antibodies (Medical and Biological Laboratories, Nagoya, Japan) were used at a concentration of 0.2 μg/mL. Tissue sections were color-developed with diamine benzidine hydrochloride (DAKO, Glastrup, Denmark), and counterstained with Meyer's hematoxylin (Sigma). We evaluated immunopositivity at the basement membrane and stromal fibers. Staining strength was scored from (-) to (++): (-) is no staining; (+) is staining equal to that of non-pathologic mucosa; (++) is staining more pronounced than that of non-pathologic mucosa. All samples were stained at one time to equalize staining conditions. For a negative control, unimmunized rat IgG (Santa-Cruz Biotechnology, Santa-Cruz, CA, United States) was used as primary antibody.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
