Meridian Life Science has announced that its purified collagen antibodies are available for use in various applications.
The company added that its antigens may be used as controls, standards, immunogens, coating material for cell culture studies, and collagen gels.
Meridian also said its product application tables for collagen type I, III, IV and V provide useful tools when developing assays.
Growth of pancreatic tumours, smoking and its effect on kidneys, and tissue engineering studies are examples of how its collagen antibodies have been utilised.
Collagen is a major component of the extracellular matrix.
As a result, the effect of disease and habits such as smoking can be illustrated through research using this protein.
