Western Blotting (WB), ELISA, Immunofluorescence (IF), Immunocytochemistry (ICC)
Specificity
At least four isoforms of NOD2 are known to exist, this antibody will only detect the longest isoform. NOD2 has no cross-reaction with NOD1.
Purification
NOD2 Antibody is immunoaffinity chromatography purified IgG.
Immunogen
NOD2 antibody was raised against a synthetic peptide corresponding to 16 amino acids at the amino terminus of human NOD2. The immunogen is located within the first 50 amino acids of NOD2.
NOD2 antibody can be used for detection of NOD2 by Western blot at 1 to 2 μ,g/mL. Antibody can also be used for immunohistochemistry starting at 5 μ,g/mL. For immunofluorescence start at 10 μ,g/mL.
Antibody validated: Western Blot in human samples, Immunocytochemistry in human samples and Immunofluorescence in human samples. All other applications and species not yet tested.

NOD2 Antibody: Apaf-1 and NOD1 are members of a new family, which are involved in the regulation of apoptosis and immune response. Each of them contains a caspase recruitment domain (CARD) and a nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain (NOD). A third member in this family was recently identified and designated NOD2. NOD2 interacts with RICK via a homophilic CARD-CARD interaction. NOD2 activates NF-κ,B, which is regulated by its carboxy-terminal leucine-rich repeat domain that acts as an intracellular receptor for components of bacteria. The variants of NOD2, either a frameshift or a missense, were associated with Crohn's disease that is a main type of chronic inflammatory bowel disease.
