  • Collagen IV binding assay for the detection of collagen VII
    Patent number: 10921332
    Abstract: The present disclosure features a method of detecting and/or quantifying collagen VII or a fragment thereof in a sample, the method including contacting the sample with collagen IV or a fragment thereof which binds to collagen VII; and contacting the sample with an anti-collagen VII antibody, wherein the anti-collagen VII antibody binds to the NC2 domain of collagen VII; detecting binding of the anti-collagen VII antibody to thereby detect and/or quantify an amount of collagen VII or the fragment thereof in the sample. A method of evaluating or processing a collagen VII preparation is also provided.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 11, 2017

  • COLLAGEN IV BINDING ASSAY FOR THE DETECTION OF COLLAGEN VII
    Publication number: 20180011118
    Abstract: The invention features a method of detecting and/or quantifying collagen VII by contacting the sample with collagen IV which binds to collagen VII; and detecting binding of collagen IV with collagen VII. Collagen VII is a major component of anchoring fibrils, which help anchor the top layer of the skin, the epidermis, to the underlying dermis, and thus strengthen and stabilize the skin.
