Clone: Polyclonal
Background: The extent of expression of the basement membrane component type IV collagen may be correlated with the degree of differentiation of basement membrane producing neoplasma. Neoplastic cells of invasive carcinomas often lack a continuous basement membrane. In diagnostic histopathology antibodies to type IV collagen may help to distinguish between non-invasive (benign or in situ) and invasive lesions. Furthermore the antiSerum is important in the differential diagnosis of bullous lesions in dermatopathology.
Source: This polyclonal type IV collagen antibody is a rabbit polyclonal antibody. The rabbits were immunized with isolated human type IV collagen. The immunogen has been isolated from human placenta.
Specificity: Polyclonal type IV collagen recognizes the extracellular – basement membranes.
