In Vivo Collagen Hybridizing Peptide Sulfo-Cy7.5 Conjugate, Kit (Echelon Product Code: INVIVOKIT7.5 EaKit)

In Vivo Collagen Hybridizing Peptide Sulfo-Cy7.5 Conjugate, Kit (Echelon Product Code: INVIVOKIT7.5
Description: This kit contains 10 doses (24 nmoles) of the Target; and 3 doses (8 nmoles) of the Control; In Vivo Collagen Hybridizing Peptide Sulfo-Cy7.5 Conjugate. The collagen hybridizing peptide (CHP) is a novel and unique peptide that specifically binds unfolded collagen chains, both(in vitro)and(in vivo).[1, 2, 3]By sharing the Gly-X-Y repeating sequence of natural collagen, CHP has a strong capability to hybridize with denatured collagen chains by reforming the triple helical structure, in a fashion similar to DNA fragments annealing to complementary DNA strands. CHP is extremely specific: it has negligible affinity to intact collagen molecules due to lack of binding sites, and it is inert towards non-specific binding because of its neutral and hydrophilic nature. The (in vivo) CHP incorporates our newest sequence which allows them to be directly injected into animals without having to pre-activate them with a heating step. [4]Therefore, the (in vivo) CHPs will always be in their active form and will not self-hybridize once injected. [4]The sCy7.5-CHP is a powerful (in vivo )toolwhich enables straightforward detection of inflammation and tissue damage caused by a large variety of diseases, as well as tissue remodeling during development and aging.[3]CHP can measure and localize mechanical injury to collagenous tissue at the molecular level.[5] The sCy7.5-CHPs are labeled with sulfonated-cyanine 7.5 dye for near-infrared fluorescence (NIRF) detection. This wavelength offers better tissue penetration while minimizing tissue autofluorescence. Specificity:CHP binds to theunfoldedtriple-helical chains ofall collagen types(e.g., I, II, III, IV, etc).[3, 6] Applications:(in vivo imaging, small animal imaging) Features; New sequence designed for (in vivo) use- does not need any pre-activation step unlike CHPs for histology; Near-infrared imaging probe minimizes the chance of autofluorescence in the gut or certain tissues; Can be used for systemic or (in situ )injection; Signal lasts at target sites for days, allowing for imaging at multiple time points with a single dose; High affinity and unparalleled specificity to collagen turnover with essentiallynononspecific binding; Applicable to all types of collagen from all species, relying on collagen's secondary structure instead of any defined sequence for binding; Stable in solution under 4 °C up to three months, eliminating the need to aliquot for storage.
