Application Details

Application Notes: WB: 1 : 1000 up to 1 : 2000 (AP staining)
IP: not tested yet
ICC: 1 : 200 up to 1 : 1000
IHC: 1 : 500

Comment:

WB: This protein aggregates after boiling, making it necessary to run SDS-PAGE with non-boiled samples. ICC: This antibody is PFA fixation sensitive, use only mild fixation (2% PFA). Best results are obtained by application on living cells. After washing cells with bound antibodies, they can be fixed and visualized with secondary reagents. IHC: This antibody requires antigen retrieval with pepsin according to: Lorincz A & Nusser Z (2008).

Restrictions: For Research Use only

Handling

Format: Lyophilized

Reconstitution: For reconstitution add 50 µL H2O to get a 1mg/ml solution of antibody in PBS. Then aliquot and store at -20 °C until use.

Buffer: PBS

Handling Advice: Affinity purified antibodies are less robust than antisera, since protease inhibitors are also removed during purification. Hence, storage at 4 °C for prolonged periods (i.e. several weeks), is not recommended.

Storage: -20 °C

Storage Comment: Unlabeled lyophilized antibodies are stable in this form without loss of quality at ambient temperatures for several weeks or even months. They can be stored at 4°C for several years. Lyophilized antibodies must not be stored in the freezer, they may be destroyed!
