Produced from sera of rabbits pre-immunized with highly pure (>98%) recombinant Galectin-3. Human Galectin-3 specific antibody was purified by affinity chromatography and then biotinylated.
LGALS3
Reactivity: Human, Mouse
ELISA, IHC (p), FACS, IF (cc), IF (p), IHC (fro)
Host: Rabbit
Polyclonal
unconjugated
Application Notes
ELISA: Direct: To detect Galectin-3 by direct ELISA (using 100 μ,L/well antibody solution) a concentration of 0.25 - 1.0 μ,g/mL of this antibody is required. This biotinylated polyclonal antibody, in conjunction with compatible secondary reagents, allows the detection of at least 0.2 - 0.4 ng/well of recombinant Galectin-3.
Sandwich To detect Galectin-3 by sandwich ELISA (using 100 μ,L/well antibody solution) a concentration of 0.25 - 1.0 μ,g/mL of this antibody is required. This biotinylated polyclonal antibody, in conjunction with our polyclonal Anti-Human Galectin-3 as a capture antibody, allows the detection of at least 0.2 - 0.4 ng/well of recombinant Galectin-3.
Western Blot: To detect Galectin-3 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 Galectin-3 is 1.5 - 3.0 ng/lane, under either reducing or non-reducing conditions.

Storage Comment
Galectin-3 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.
Galectins are a new family of animal lectins which appear to exhibit a variety of biological functions. Lectins, of either plant or animal origin, are carbohydrate binding proteins that interact with glycoprotein and glycolipids on the surface of animal cells.
