General description

Collagen is classified into several structurally and genetically distinct types. Type IV collagen is a predominant structural protein of the basement membrane. It is notably characteristic of the Engelbreth-Holm-Swarm (EHS) mouse sarcoma. It is commercially available as matrigel and cultrex. Matrigel is made of type 4 collagen, laminin, heparan sulfate proteoglycan and entactin obtained from engelbreth-holm-swarm murine sarcoma. The target cells for attachment include: epithelial cells, endothelial cells, muscle cells, and nerve cells.

Collagen is classified into a number of structurally and genetically distinct types. We use the nomenclature proposed by Bornstein and Traub. Do not confuse Sigma type designations with recognized collagen classification types.

Application

Collagen from Engelbreth-Holm-Swarm murine sarcoma basement membrane has been used:

in adhesion assays.
in hydrogel fabrication.
to coat cell culture plates for cell differentiation.
to treat round plastic coverslips for scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis in an interaction study between A. culbertsoni trophozoites and Schwann cells.

Recommended for use as a cell culture substratum at 6-10 μg/cm².

Biochem/physiol Actions

Collagen isolated from Engelbreth-Holm-Swarm murine sarcoma basement membrane helps in the development of 3D nodules. It is also used in 2D coatings.

Other Notes

Native collagen

We use the nomenclature proposed by Bornstein and Traub. Do not confuse Sigma-type designations with recognized collagen classification types.

How to Find a Lot/Batch Number for COA

Lot and Batch Numbers can be found on a product's label following the words 'Lot' or 'Batch'.

Aldrich Products

For a lot number such as TO09019TO, enter it as 09019TO (without the first two letters 'TO').
For a lot number with a filling-code such as 05427ES-021, enter it as 05427ES (without the filling-code '-021').
For a lot number with a filling-code such as STBB0728K9, enter it as STBB0728 without the filling-code 'K9'.

Not Finding What You Are Looking For?

In some cases, a COA may not be available online. If your search was unable to find the COA you can request one.
