Assay
Reference: J:11916 Oh SP, et al., Tissue-specific expression of type XII collagen during mouse embryonic development. Dev Dyn. 1993 Jan;196(1):37-46
Assay type: Immunohistochemistry
MGI Accession ID: MGI:3612413
Gene symbol: Col12a1
Gene name: collagen, type XII, alpha 1
Antibody: anti-a1(XII) collagen
Detection system: Biotinylated secondary antibody/[Strept]avidin coupled to horseradish peroxidase
Assay notes: Younger embryos (E8.5-15.5) were fixed in 100% ethanol containing 4% polyvinylpyrolidone; older embryos and newborns were fixed in ethanol-PVP supplemented with 20% dimethyl sulfoxide to allow better infiltration of tissues.
