I am doing an ELISA with keratinocytes. I want to measure collagen and fibronectin. However, I need to know if these keratinocytes make these things to begin with. Slight Smile

No Keratinocytes is epidermis, not dermis or connective tissue, so it does not contain collagen.

As for fibronectin  - "Cellular fibronectin is assembled into the extracellular matrix, an insoluble network that separates and supports the organs and tissues of an organism. Fibronectin plays a crucial role in wound healing.[6] Along with fibrin, plasma fibronectin is deposited at the site of injury, forming a blood clot that stops bleeding and protects the underlying tissue."

I do not believe keratinocyte contain collage or fibronectin
