Tissue Specificity |
Reactive in immunoblotting against intact tissue Type VII collagen (250kD). Pepsin digestion of terminal regions leads to complte loss of reactivity. Antibody reactivity is conserved after treatment with collagenase.No reactivity against collagen types I, II, III, IV, V, laminin and fibronectin.The antibody reacts predominantly with the basement membrane zone of stratified ssquamous epithelia and ectodermally derived glands. |
