Von Willebrand Collagen Binding Assay

Description: Our Soluble Collagen Assay Kit detects soluble collagen in cell and tissue lysates. This assay uses a Sirius Red Reagent to stain the triple helix structure of collagen that has been dried onto the wells of a 96-well plate. The collagen is washed with an Acidic Reagent and the stain is eluted with a Basic Reagent, which is then transferred to a new plate and read colorimetrically between 540nm-560nm. The amount of soluble collagen in samples is determined based on a provided collagen standard curve.

Description: Minimum order quantity: 1 unit of 1KIT

Description: The CytoSelect Cell Viability and Cytotoxicity Assay Kit provides a simple format for monitoring cell viability via metabolic activity. Live cells are detected with either MTT (colorimetric detection) or Calcein AM (fluorometric detection). Dead cells are detected by EthD-1 reagent (fluorometric). All 3 detection reagents are included, along with Saponin (a cell death initiator). Prior to the assay, cells may be treated with compounds or agents that affect cell viability. This kit is suitable for eukaryotic cells, not yeast or bacteria.

Description: This product includes 60 ul of 1000 x PSA dye for more than 200 assays with the assay volume of 0.3 ml using 96-well plates or cuvettes.

Description: Important in the maintenance of hemostasis, von Willebrand Factor promotes adhesion of platelets to the sites of vascular injury by forming a molecular bridge between sub-endothelial collagen matrix and platelet-surface receptor complex GPIb-IX-V. Also acts as a chaperone for coagulation factor VIII, delivering it to the site of injury, stabilizing its heterodimeric structure and protecting it from premature clearance from plasma. [UniProt]

Description: von Willebrand Factor (vWF) is a multimeric glycoprotein that is found in endothelial cells, plasma and platelets. It acts as a carrier protein for Factor VIII and promotes platelet adhesion and aggregation. vWF undergoes a variety of posttranslational modifications that influence the affinity and availability for Factor VIII, including cleavage of the propeptide and formation of N-terminal disulfide bonds. This antibody helps to establish the endothelial nature of some lesions of disputed histogenesis, e.g. Kaposi's sarcoma and cardiac myxoma. It is widely used for differentiating vascular lesions from those of other tissue differentiation within a panel of other vascular markers although not all tumors of endothelial differentiation contain this antigen.
