Application DetailsImmunohistochemistry (IHC) and Western Blotting (WB). A concentration of 0.25-0.50 µg/mL is recommended for WB. Human Collagen III (isoform 1) has a predicted length of 1,466 residues and a MW of 139 kDa. A concentration of 0.5-1.0 µg/mL is recommended to detect the protein in formalin fixed and paraffin embedded tissues. Heat mediated antigen retrieval is required. A concentration of 0.5-1.0 µg/mL is recommended to detect the protein in formalin/acetone fixed tissues. Biosensis recommends optimal dilutions/concentrations should be determined by the end user.
TargetCollagen alpha-1(III) chain
SpecificityThe specificity of this antibody has been confirmed by WB and IHC against the antigen. Human; mouse; rat;
Reconstitution InstructionsSpin vial briefly before opening. Reconstitute in 1 mL of sterile-filtered PBS (pH 7.4) to achieve an antibody concentration of 100 µg/mL. Centrifuge to remove any insoluble material.
Storage InstructionsAfter reconstitution, aliquot and store at -20°C for a higher stability. Avoid freeze-thaw cycles.
