| Collagen is an inert, rigid protein found predominantly in skin, ligaments, bones and teeth. Its most distinctive attribute, essential to a transmitter of mechanical force, is inelasticity. Its fundamental structural unit is tropo-collagen, a molecular rod about 2600Å in length and 15Å in diameter and 300,000 molecular weight. In tendons these macromolecules, grouped as collagen fibrils, run parallel to the axis. In skin the fibrils are interlaced and branched. |

| Immunogen | Collagen Type I from human and bovine placenta |
| Specificity | Recognizes human Collagen Type I. Species Crossreactivity: mouse, rat and bovine. Recognizes most mammalian Type I collagens and has negligible crossreactivity with Type II, III, IV, V or VI collagens. Non-speci c crossreaction of anti-collagen antibodies with other human serum proteins or non-collagen extracellular matrix proteins is negligible. Some class speci c anti-collagens may be speci c for three-dimensional epitopes which may result in diminished reactivity with denatured collagen or formalin- xed, paraf n embedded tissues. |
