We use proteinase K digestion for Collagen I on formic acid decalcifed
bone sections, we get our Collagen I from Biogenesis.  For Collagen II
we use no digestion and get our antibody from MD Biosciences.  Its pricy
but we find it works the best for us.  I have tried the lab vision
antibody and had some problems with it.  I like the MD biosciences
antibody because it's a rabbit polycolonal and a lot of our samples are
generated in mouse, but we also run it on rat, sheep, and goat
specimens.

Anyone with experience in collagen I staining on decalcified bone
paraffin sections? Would this require more digestion than say collagen
II on cartilage. any other differences? Collagen II is working perfectly
but collagen I refuses to work.  Thanks. Tamara
