Description
Connective tissue consists of a ground of glycosaminoglycans, proteoglycans and glycoproteins through which various fibres run. These fibres can be collagenous, elastic or reticular. Reticular fibres are composed from the family of collagen proteins and give tensile strength. These fibres are made by reticular fibroblasts. This monoclonal antibody [ER-TR7] detects an antigen present in, and produced by, reticular fibroblasts. The antibody is useful to stain the microanatomy of various organs, in particular the connective tissue framework in lymphoid organs. The antibody also stains subendothelial deposits in the plaque area of atherosclerotic plaques.
