Western Blotting (WB), Immunofluorescence (IF), Immunoprecipitation (IP), Enzyme Immunoassay (EIA), Radioimmunoassay (RIA), Immunodiffusion (ID), Dot Blot (DB)
Specificity
Acid Phosphatase from Human seminal plasma. The reagents were evaluated for potency, purity and specificity using most or all of the following techniques: Immunoelectrophoresis, Cross-Immunoelectrophoresis, single Radial Immunodiffusion (Ouchterlony), block titration, ELISA, Immunoblotting and Enzyme Inhibition. Cross-reactivities against enzymes of other sources may occur but have not been determined
Characteristics
Molar Ratio: Biotin/IgG ~ 6.0
Purification
Ammonium Sulphate Precipitation and Ion Exchange Chromatography.
Immunogen
Acid Phosphatase isolated and purified from Human seminal plasma. Freund’s complete adjuvant is used in the first step of the immunization procedure.
Optimal working dilution should be determined by the investigator.
Restrictions
For Research Use only
Format
Liquid
Reconstitution
Restore by adding 1.0 mL of sterile distilled water
Concentration
10.0 mg/mL
Buffer
PBS, pH 7.2 without preservatives and foreign proteins.
Preservative
Without preservative
Storage
4 °C/-20 °C
Storage Comment
Store the antibody lyophilized at 2-8 °C and reconstituted at 2-8 °C for one week or (in aliquots) at -20 °C for longer. If a slight precipitation occurs upon storage, this should be removed by centrifugation.
Prostatic acid phosphatase is one of the two antigenic markers of prostatic carcinoma, the other being prostate specific antigen. It belongs to the kallikrein family of serine proteases and is suggested to act as a hydrolase to split phospharyl choline in semen and as a transferase.Synonyms: ACP3, PAP, PSAP, Prostate acid phosphatase
