Restrictions
For Research Use only
Format
Lyophilized
Buffer
PBS, pH 7.4, containing 0.02 % sodium azide
Preservative
Sodium azide
Precaution of Use
WARNING: Reagents contain sodium azide. Sodium azide is very toxic if ingested or inhaled. Avoid contact with skin, eyes, or clothing. Wear eye or face protection when handling. If skin or eye contact occurs, wash with copious amounts of water. If ingested or inhaled, contact a physician immediately. Sodium azide yields toxic hydrazoic acid under acidic conditions. Dilute azide-containing compounds in running water before discarding to avoid accumulation of potentially explosive deposits in lead or copper plumbing.
Storage
4 °C/-20 °C
Storage Comment
The antibody is stable in lyophilized form if stored at -20°C or below. The reconstituted antibody can be stored for 2-3 weeks at 2-8°C. For long term storage, aliquot and store at -20°C or below. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing cycles.
NCAM (neural cell adhesion molecule, CD56) is an adhesion glycoprotein. It contains five extracellular immunoglobulin-like domains followed by two fibronectin type III repeats. Alternative splicing gives rise to different cytoplasmic domains. NCAM is involved in neuronal attachment, neurite extension, and cell-cell interactions through homo and heterophilic interactions. During sialylation, polysialic acid (PSA) carbohydrates are attached to the extracellular part of NCAM. It is expressed on most neuroectodermal derived cell lines, tissues, and neoplasm.Rabbit Anti-NCAM Polyclonal Antibody is developed in rabbit using a KLH-coupled synthetic peptide within cytoplasmic residues 780-830 of human NCAM (Swiss Prot: P13591).
