Application Notes
Working concentrations for specific applications should be determined by the investigator. The appropriate concentrations may be affected by secondary antibody affinity, antigen concentration, the sensitivity of the method of detection, temperature, the length of the incubations, and other factors. The suitability of this antibody for applications other than those listed below has not been determined. The following concentration ranges are recommended starting points for this product. Western blot: 0.5-1 µg/mL.Other Applications: user-optimized
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.

Background
Influenza A (H1N1) virus, a subtype of influenzavirus A, is the most common cause of influenza (flu) in humans. A strain of swine-origin H1N1 was responsible for the 2009 flu pandemic. The Influenza A (H1N1) RNA polymerase consists of one part each of three subunits, PB1, PB2, and PA. PA is a subunit of RNA-dependent RNA polymerase that is essential for cRNA-dependent vRNA synthesis. H1N1 PA Antibody is developed in rabbit using a KLH-coupled synthetic peptide from residues 250-300 of Influenza A virus PA protein (Genbank: CY040004).
