The Rabbit Polyclonal anti-EIF4E antibody (ABIN362284) specifically detects EIF4E in WB, IHC and IF.
The antibody is reactive with Human, Rat and Mouse samples.
The antibody detects endogenous level of eIF4E only when phosphorylated at serine 209.
Purification
The antibody was affinity-purified from rabbit antiserum by affinity-chromatography usingepitope-specific phosphopeptide. The antibody against non-phosphopeptide was removedby chromatography using non-phosphopeptide corresponding to the phosphorylation site.
Immunogen
Peptide sequence around phosphorylation site of pSer209 (S-G-S (p) -T-T) derived from Human eIF4E. Antibodies were produced by immunizing rabbits with synthetic phosphopeptide and KLH conjugates.
