Other Notes

Concentration: Please refer to the Certificate of Analysis for the lot-specific concentration.

Physical form

Protein A purified

Format: Purified

Liquid in 0.1 M sodium phosphate buffer, pH 7.0, containing 2% protease-free bovine Serum albumin.

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.

Storage and Stability

Maintain for 1 year at -20°C from date of shipment. Aliquot to avoid repeated freezing and thawing. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap.
