Anti-Collagen Type V, Fluorescein Conjugated

Anti-Collagen V 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.  Typically negligible cross reactivity against other types of collagens was detected by ELISA against purified standards.  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 Type V collagens and has negligible cross-reactivity with Type I, II, III, IV and VI collagens.  Non-specific cross reaction of anti-collagen antibodies with other human serum proteins or non-collagen extracellular matrix proteins is negligible. Protein function: Type V collagen is a member of group I collagen (fibrillar forming collagen). It is a minor connective tissue component of nearly ubiquitous distribution. Type V collagen binds to DNA, heparan sulfate, thrombospondin, heparin, and insulin. [The UniProt Consortium]
