This recombinant protein control fragment may be used for blocking experiments. In IHC/ICC and WB experiments, we recommend a 100x molar excess of the protein fragment control based on the concentration and the molecular weight. Pre-incubate the antibody-protein control fragment mixture for 30 min at room temperature.
Collagen IV is a major constituent of the basement membranes along with laminins and enactins. Collagen IV is composed of alpha 1 IV chain and alpha 2 IV chain in 2:1 ratio. Collagen IV can form insoluble fibers with high tensile strength. Antibody to collagen IV is useful in detecting the loss of parts of basement membrane in carcinomas.
