Application Details

Application Notes: Optimal working dilution should be determined by the investigator.

Restrictions: For Research Use only

Handling

Format: Lyophilized

Reconstitution: If reconstituted with deionized water in 50 μL: In vivo Passive Immunization: neat serum, RIA: in a RIA for SRIF, at a final dilution of 1: 25,000, this antiserum binds 40 % of [125I]-tyri-SRIF and can detect 10pg/assay tube. Optimal dilution has to be determined by the user.

Buffer: Lyophilized serum

Preservative: Without preservative

Storage: 4 °C,-20 °C,-80 °C

Storage Comment: Lyophilized antibodies can be kept at 4°C for up to 3 months and should be kept at -20°C for long-term storage (2 years). To avoid freeze-thaw cycles, reconstituted antibodies should be aliquoted before freezing for long-term (1 year) storage (-80°C) or kept at 4°C for short-term usage (2 months). For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial prior to removing the cap. Further dilutions can be made with the assay buffer. After the maximum long-term storage period (2 years lyophilized or 1 year reconstituted) antibodies should be tested in your assay with a standard sample to verify if you have noticed any decrease in their efficacy. To limit antibody loss or degradation, BSA (final concentration 1%) and sodium azide (final concentration 0.02%) can be added to the suggested first dilution. It is important to first verify if those preservatives are compatible with your assay.

Expiry Date: 24 months

Target Details for Somatostatin

Target: Somatostatin (SST)

Alternative Name: Somatostatin

Target Type: Chemical

Background:

Growth hormone-inhibiting hormone (GHIH), Growth hormone release-inhibiting hormone (GHRIH), Somatotropin release-inhibiting factor (SRIF), Somatotropin release-inhibiting hormone (SRIH)

Somatostatin or growth hormone-inhibiting hormone (GHIH) is a peptide hormone that inhibits the release of somatotropin (growth hormone) from the anterior pituitary gland in the hypothalamus. Somatostatin also inhibits the release of peptide hormones in many other tissues by binding to high-affinity G protein-coupled somatostatin receptors. Two active forms have been described: a form that is 14 amino acids in length and a form that is 28 amino acids in length, which are produced by alternate cleavage of the single pre-pro-protein encoded by this gene.
