Applications

Collagen has a unique triple helical structure that is unfolded in tissues during diseases, development, mechanical injury, and decellularization. 3Helix commercializes labeled collagen hybridizing peptide (CHP) that specifically binds to such unfolded collagen chains, enabling unlimited laboratory applications in pathology, biomechanics, cell biology, regenerative medicine, and more.
Histopathology
CHP detects tissue damage and remodeling in a large variety of diseases through binding to degraded collagen
Collagen Identification
CHP visualizes collagen bands of all types in SDS-PAGE with high specificity
Tissue Decellularization
CHP enables assessment of collagen denaturation in decellularized extracellular matrix
Mechanical Damage
CHP can measure and localize mechanical injury to collagenous tissue at the molecular level
Home-new-panel-1cell-invasion
Cell Invasion
CHP visualizes pericellular collagen turnover caused by proteolytic migration of cells within 3D culture
Home-new-panel-2in-vivo
In vivo Imaging
New CHP sequence with a near-infrared fluorophore (NIRF) conjugation enables imaging collagen turnover in vivo
