Immunohistological representation of fibrogenesis and collagen production, useful for diagnosis of fibrotic disease, by labeling C-terminal procollagen alpha1 propeptide

摘要

Immunohistological method for representation of fibrogenesis and/or collagen production in histological sections using antibodies (Ab) directed against human C-terminal procollagen alpha 1(III) propeptide (X) and/or structurally related or homologous sequences. Ab are contacted with a test sample and any (X)-Ab complexes detected and determined, qualitatively or quantitatively.
