Recombinant Human Anti-human COL2A1 Antibody Fab Fragment (CAT#: MHH-225-F(E))

1. Q 1: What is the main target of the Recombinant Human Anti-human COL2A1 Antibody Fab Fragment?

   A: The main target of this antibody is human collagen type II alpha 1 (COL2A1) protein. COL2A1 is a vital component of type II collagen, which is primarily found in cartilage tissue and the vitreous humor of the eye. By specifically binding to COL2A1, this antibody is valuable for researchers studying cartilage development, cartilage-related diseases, and extracellular matrix components in various biological processes.

2. Q 2: How should I store the Recombinant Human Anti-human COL2A1 Antibody Fab Fragment?

   A: The antibody should be stored at -20°C or lower to maintain its stability and activity. It is recommended to aliquot the antibody into smaller volumes upon first use to avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles, which can degrade the antibody. Proper storage ensures consistent performance over time.

3. Q 3: How can I use this antibody in ELISA?

   A: In ELISA applications, this antibody can be used as a capture or detection antibody to quantify COL2A1 levels in samples such as serum, cell culture supernatants, or tissue extracts. By setting up a standard curve with known concentrations of COL2A1, you can accurately measure its concentration in your samples.
