ANTIBODIES
(anti-Human and others as indicated)
RDI Division of Fitzgerald Industries Intl offers a wide line of antibodies. Since no one antibody works best for all applications (neutralization, blotting, histochemistry, ELISA, etc), we offer many different types of antibodies to help solve this problem. Please inquire for other applications or types of antibodies not listed below.
also available: rabbit anti-collagen Type 1, Type 2, Type 3, Type 4, Type 5, Type 6 antibodies. . see collagen abs
Mouse anti-Collagen Type IV (COCKTAIL) (human)
cat# RDI-COLL4abm-COC $451.00/0.5ml
RDI-COLL4abm-COC1 $562.00/1ml
Presentation: Tissue culture supernatant with 0.09% sodium azide,
Isotype: mIgG1
Clone: PHM-12 & CIV 22
Reactivity: human (others not tested)
Uses: Immunohistology (Formalin/paraffin) (Use Ab at 1:50-1:100 for 30 min at
RT) (Staining of formalin/paraffin tissues is enhanced by digestion of tissue
sections with Protease XXV at 1mg/ml PBS for 5 minutes at 37°C
Positive Control: Skin.
Localization: Basement membrane
Background: Collagen IV is a major constituent of the basement membranes along with laminins and enactins. It is composed of á 1(IV) chain and á 2(IV) chain in 2:1 ratio . It 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. This MAB cocktail is highly specific to type IV collagen. In kidney, it reacts with glomerular and tubular basement membranes, parts of mesangial matrix and the Bowman’s capsule. It also reacts with basal lamina of capillaries as well as basement membranes in a variety of tissues. This Mab cocktail is excellent for the staining of routine formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissues.

Mouse ANTI-COLLAGEN TYPE IV
Mab to Collagen Type IV
cat#RDI-PRO10710 $344.00/vial
Clone 1042
Category Mouse monoclonal, ascites
Ig Class IgG2b
Immunogen Human placental type IV collagen
Clinical Application/Specificity Antibody 1042 is reactive with human collagen type
IV of basement membranes, and shows a homogeneous staining pattern in all
tissues. As neoplastic cells of invasive carcinomas often lack a continuous
basement membrane, the antibody is useful to distinguish between non-invasive
and invasive lesions. Additionally, it can be used for the differentiation of
bullous lesions in dermatopathology. No cross-reactivity with other collagens.
Recommended Positive Control: for Skin, kidney

Pab to Collagen Type IV
cat#RDI-PRO10760 $344.00/vial
Category Rabbit serum
Ig Class IgG
Immunogen Human placental type IV collagen
Clinical Application/Specificity The antibody is reactive with collagen type IV
of basement membranes, and shows a homogeneous staining pattern in all tissues.
As neoplastic cells of invasive carcinomas often lack a continuous basement
membrane, the antibody is useful to distinguish between non-invasive and
invasive lesions. Additionally, it can be used for the differentiation of
bullous lesions in dermatopathology. No cross reactivity with other collagens
at optimal dilutions. In immunoblotting1, a slight cross reactivity with
collagen type V is observed.
Recommended Positive Control for Skin, kidney
Application ELISA

STABILIZER: None
PRESERVATIVE: 0.015 sodium azide
RECOMMENDED DILUTIONS: Western Blots 1:5,000 - 1:10,000

Immunohistochemistry 1:50 - 1:200
APPLICATIONS: ELISA, Western Blotting, Immunochemistry.
STORAGE: Store vial at 4`C before opening. Aliquot and
freeze.Avoid cycles of thawing and freezing. Expiration date is six (6)
months from opening.
PURITY: This product has been prepared by immunoaffinity chromatography using
immobilized antigens. Extensive cross-absorption was performed against other
collagens, human serum proteins and non-collagen extracellular matrix proteins
to remove any unwanted specificities. Typically less than 1% cross reactivity
against other types of collagen was detected using ELISA. 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.
SPECIFICITY: Antibody reacts with most mammalian Type IV collagens and has negligible cross-reactivity with Type I, II, III, V and VI collagens.
IMMUNOGEN: Collagen Type IV from human and bovine tissuee
