Original Format of Ab: IgG2a

Purification: Protein A affinity purified

Immunogen: Homopolymers of alpha2,8-linked sialic acid of Escherichia coli K1.

Isotype: IgG kappa

Application Details

Application Notes: Clone 735 was used for immunostaining and immunoprecipitation in an experimental setup involving antigen preparation from PBMC (Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells) (Husmann et al., 1989, PMID: 2529126). This antibody recognises an unusual postranslational modification on neural cell adhesion molecules important in synaptogenesis, oncogenesis (particularly small-cell lung cancer) and development of organs such as the kidney (studied in rats, Lackie et al., 1990). 735 was used for Western blot analysis of PSA-NCAM (Polysialylated Neural Cell Adhesion Molecule) (Charter et al., 2000, PMID: 11030751). In addition to various studies on human cells, the antibody, has also been used the study the fine-composition of poly-sialic acid composition in mice (Galuska et al., 2006).

Comment:

This chimeric rabbit antibody was made using the variable domain sequences of the original murine IgG2a format, for improved compatibility with existing reagents, assays and techniques.
