Does anyone have ideas on the best method of extracting tropoelastin from a collagen matrix for use in an ELISA assay? I have tried collagenase, pepsin, oxalic acid, RIPA, and T-PER but they all gave poor results. Thanks!

Hi,
I use this kit. It's a colorimetric assay but it works fine for skin tissue and cells.
