Western Blotting (WB), ELISA, Neutralization (Neut)
Immunogen
Produced from sera of rabbits pre-immunized with highly pure (>98%) recombinant hBetacellulin. Human Betacellulin specific antibody was purified by affinity chromatography employing immobilized hBetacellulin matrix.

Application Notes
Neutralization: To yield one-half maximal inhibition [ND50] of the biological activity of Human Betacellulin (0.1 ng/mL), a concentration of ≤ 0.1 μ,g/mL of this antibody is required.
ELISA: Indirect: To detect hBetacellulin by indirect ELISA (using 100 μ,L/well antibody solution) a concentration of 0.5 - 2.0 μ,g/mL of this antibody is required. This antigen affinity purified antibody, in conjunction with compatible secondary reagents, allows the detection of at least 0.2 - 0.4 ng/well of recombinant hBetacellulin.
Sandwich To detect hBetacellulin by sandwich ELISA (using 100 μ,L/well antibody solution) a concentration of 0.5 - 2.0 μ,g/mL of this antibody is required. This antigen affinity purified antibody, in conjunction with our biotinylated Anti-Human Betacellulin as a detection antibody, allows the detection of at least 0.2 - 0.4 ng/well of recombinant hBetacellulin.
Western Blot: To detect hBetacellulin by Western Blot analysis this antibody can be used at a concentration of 0.1 - 0.2 μ,g/mL. Used in conjunction with compatible secondary reagents the detection limit for recombinant hBetacellulin is 1.5 - 3.0 ng/lane, under either reducing or non-reducing conditions

Storage Comment
Betacellulin antibody is stable for at least 2 years from date of receipt at -20°C. The reconstituted antibody is stable for at least two weeks at 2-8°C. Frozen aliquots are stable for at least 6 months when stored at -20°C. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
Betacellulin (BTC) is a heparin-binding member of the EGF family of growth factors that includes epidermal growth factor (EGF), transforming growth factor-alpha (TGF-alpha), amphiregulin (AR), heparin-binding EGF-like growth factor (HB-EGF), and the various heregulins (HRG).
