DESCRIPTION: Highly purified type II collagen (treated with 3M guanidine, DEAE-cellulose, and Na2HPO4)
APPLICATION: Can be used for various purposes, such as a standard for collagen analysis by SDS-gel,
substrate for MMP-1, MMP-8, and MMP-13, and as an antigen for immunizing animals for the
induction of collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) in certain species and strains of experimental
animals.
QUANTITY: 2.5 ml
FORM: 2 mg/ml solution in 0.05M acetic acid
SOURCE: Rat sternal cartilage
MOLECULAR WEIGHT: 300 kDa
PURITY: >99% by SDS-PAGE, free of pepsin and proteoglycans
STORAGE: -20°C in the dark
STABILITY: 2 years
NOTES: In order to neutralize this product, add this collagen solution to the desired neutral buffer such
as 2-10X Tris-NaCl (NaCl final concentration: 0.15-0.2M) or dialyze against 1X neutral buffer at
4°C.
NOTE 1: The physicochemical property of type II collagen differs from type I collagen and type
II collagen dissolved in a neutral buffer does not form a stable gel incubating at 37°C. In order
to prepare a type II collagen gel, additional components such as type I collagen or other
substances may be required.
NOTE 2: Although type II collagen does not form a gel at low concentrations, Chondrex, Inc.
recommends keeping the collagen solution on ice.
