Insulin antibody (CF®488A)

Catalog No. ABIN6157427

Product Details anti-Insulin Antibody (CF®488A)

Target: Insulin (INS)

Reactivity: Human, Pig, Mouse, Cow, Rabbit

Host: Mouse

Clonality: Monoclonal

Conjugate: This Insulin antibody is conjugated to CF®488A

Application: Immunofluorescence (IF), Flow Cytometry (FACS), Immunohistochemistry (Formalin-fixed Sections) (IHC (f))

Purpose: Mouse Monoclonal anti-Insulin (E2-E3), CF488A Conjugate

Characteristics: This antibody recognizes a polypeptide which is identified as insulin, a 51-amino acid polypeptide composed of A and B chains connected through the C-peptide. Proinsulin, which has very little biological activity, is cleaved by proteases within its cell of origin into the insulin molecule and the C-terminal basic residue. Insulin enhances membrane transport of glucose, amino acids, and certain ions. It also promotes glycogen storage, formation of triglycerides, and synthesis of proteins and nucleic acids. Deficiency of insulin results in diabetes mellitus. The main storage site for insulin is the pancreatic islets. Antibodies to insulin are important as beta-cell and insulinoma marker. Primary antibodies are available purified, or with a selection of fluorescent CF® dyes and other labels. CF® dyes offer exceptional brightness and photostability. Note: Conjugates of blue fluorescent dyes like CF®405S and CF®405M are not recommended for detecting low abundance targets, because blue dyes have lower fluorescence and can give higher non-specific background than other dye colors.

Immunogen: Purified pig insulin, conjugated to KLH

Clone: E2-E3

Application Details

Application Notes: Immunohistology formalin-fixed 0.5-1 μg/mL

• Staining of formalin-fixed tissues requires boiling tissue sections in 10 mM citrate buffer,  pH 6.0, for 10-20 min followed by cooling at RT for 20 minutes
• Flow Cytometry 0.5-1 μg/million cells/0.1 mL
• Immunofluorescence 1-2 μg/mL
• Optimal dilution for a specific application should be determined by user
