Product Overview
This rabbit polyclonal antibody targets collagen alpha-1(VII) chain (gene COL7A1) in human samples and is validated for Western blot, IHC, flow cytometry and ELISA. The predicted molecular weight is 295.2 kDa, and the supplier reports an observed band at about 300 kDa.
Collagen α1(VII) chain (COL7A1) forms type VII collagen, the main component of anchoring fibrils that attach the epidermal basement membrane to the underlying dermis. Mutations cause dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa, and it is the autoantigen in epidermolysis bullosa acquisita, making it central to skin adhesion research.

Validated Applications
| Western blot | 0.25–0.5 µg/mL (Human) |
|---|---|
| IHC (paraffin sections) | 2–5 µg/mL (Human) |
| Flow cytometry (fixed cells) | 1–3 µg/1×106 cells (Human) |

Samples with a confirmed band (WB): human HeLa cells.
Recommended loading (WB): 20–40 µg of total protein per lane.
Conditions in the example images (WB): 5–20% gradient SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions, 50 µg lysate per lane, transfer to nitrocellulose membrane, blocking in 5% non-fat milk, primary antibody at 0.5 µg/mL overnight at 4 °C, HRP-conjugated secondary antibody at 1:5000, ECL detection.
Samples with confirmed staining (IHC): human melanoma tissue, human tonsil tissue.
Recommended antigen retrieval: heat-mediated, in TE buffer (pH 9.0); citrate buffer (pH 6.0) can be used instead.
Conditions in the example images (IHC): heat-mediated antigen retrieval in EDTA buffer (pH 8.0).
Samples with a confirmed signal (flow cytometry): A549 cells.
Immunogen
