    摘要: The present disclosure features a method of detecting and/or quantifying collagen VII or a fragment thereof in a sample, the method including contacting the sample with collagen IV or a fragment thereof which binds to collagen VII; and contacting the sample with an anti-collagen VII antibody, wherein the anti-collagen VII antibody binds to the NC2 domain of collagen VII; detecting binding of the anti-collagen VII antibody to thereby detect and/or quantify an amount of collagen VII or the fragment thereof in the sample. A method of evaluating or processing a collagen VII preparation is also provided.
