Immunogen	Anti-Collagen Type II antibody was produced by repeated immunizations with Collagen Type II from adult human knee cartilage and bovine nasal cartilage.
Specificity	This product has been prepared by immunoaffinity chromatography using immobilized antigens followed by extensive cross-adsorption against other collagens. 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 II collagens and has expected cross-reactivity with Type IV and VI and negligible cross reactivity to Type I, III and V collagens. Non-specific cross reaction of anti-collagen antibodies with other human serum proteins or non-collagen extracellular matrix proteins has not been tested.

Gene Name	collagen type II alpha 1 chain
Database Link	Entrez Gene 1280 Human UniProt ID P02458
Background	Anti-Collagen Type II Fluorescein Conjugated Antibody detects Type-II collagen which is the basis for articular cartilage and hyaline cartilage. It makes up 50% of all protein in cartilage and 85-90% of collagen of articular cartilage. Type II collagen does form fibrils which allow cartilage to entrap the proteoglycan aggregate as well as provide tensile strength to the tissue. Anti-Collagen Type II antibody is ideal for investigators involved in Immunology, Neuroscience and Signal Transduction research.
Synonyms	rabbit anti-Collagen Type II antibody fluorescein conjugation, FITC conjugated rabbit anti-Collagen Type II antibody, Collagen alpha-1 (II) chain, Alpha-1 type II collagen, Cartilage collagen antibody, Chondrocalcin antibody, COL2A1 antibody
Note	Anti-Collagen Type II Fluorescein Conjugated Antibody is suitable for western blotting, IP, IHC and for ELISA. Researchers should determine optimal titers for applications that are not stated below.
