Target: KLH (Keyhole Limpet Hemocyanin (KLH))

Reactivity: Keyhole Limpet

Host: Rabbit

Clonality: Polyclonal

Conjugate: This KLH antibody is un-conjugated

Application: ELISA, Western Blotting (WB), Immunolocalization (IL)

Product Details anti-KLH Antibody

Predicted Reactivity: Megathura crenulata - most commonly used carrier protein

Characteristics: Expected / apparent Molecular Weight of the Antigene: Aprox. 400 kDa

Purification: serum

Immunogen: purified keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH), whole molecule

Isotype: IgG

Application Details

Application Notes: Recommended Dilution: 1 : 10 000 (ELISA), 1 : 10 000 (WB), 1 : 1000 (IL).

Comment:

Antibody can be used as a negative control to determine if observed signal is generated by anti-KLH or anti-peptide antibodies. Due to its large size KLH protein will be very difficult to separate on SDS-PAGE.

Restrictions: For Research Use only

Handling

Format: Lyophilized

Reconstitution: For reconstitution please add 50 µL of dest. water

Buffer: PBS pH 7.4

Handling Advice: Please, remember to spin tubes briefly prior to opening them to avoid any losses that might occur from lyophilized material adhering to the cap or sides of the tubes.
Once reconstituted make aliquots to avoid repreated freeze-thaw cycles.

Storage: -20 °C

Target Details for KLH

Target: KLH (Keyhole Limpet Hemocyanin (KLH))

Background: Keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH) is a large cooper-containing protein consisting of subunits with MW of 400 kDa. It is found in the hemolymph of the sea mollusk Megathura crenulata. This extracellular respiratory protein has many immunostimulatory properties, including the ability to enhance the host's immune response by interacting with T cells, monocytes, macrophages, and polymorphonuclear lymphocytes. Since its discovery, KLH has been used primarily as a carrier for vaccines and antigens and as adjuvant treatment in regimens such as antimicrobial therapy.

Molecular Weight: ca. 400 kDa/subunit
