Indirect ELISA: To detect Human BD-3 by indirect ELISA (using 100 μL/well antibodysolution) a concentration of 0.5-2.0 μg/mL of this antibody is required. This Antibody inconjunction with compatible secondary reagents, allows the detection of at least 0.2-0.4 ng/well of recombinant Human BD-3. Sandwich ELISA: To detect Human BD-3 by Sandwich ELISA (using 100 μL/well antibodysolution) a concentration of 0.5-2.0 μg/mL of this antibody is required. Antibody PP1229P,in conjunction with biotinylated anti-Human BD-3 (PP1229B1 and PP1229B1), allows thedetection of at least 0.2-0.4 ng/well of recombinant Human BD-3. Western Blot: To detect Human BD-3 by Western Blot analysis this antibody can be used ata concentration of 0.1-0.2 μg/mL. When used in conjunction with compatible secondaryreagents the detection limit for recombinant Human BD-3 is 1.5-3.0 ng/lane, under eitherreducing or non-reducing conditions. Other applications not tested. Optimal dilutions are dependent on conditions and should be determined by the user.

Beta Defensin 3 exhibits antimicrobial activity against Gram-positive bacteria S.aureus and S.pyogenes, Gram-negative bacteria P.aeruginosa and E.coli and the yeast C.albicans. It kills multiresistant S.aureus and vancomycin-resistant E.faecium, but it appears to have no significant hemolytic activity. Beta Defensin 3 is highly expressed in skin and tonsils, and to a lesser extent in trachea, uterus, kidney, thymus, adenoid, pharynx and tongue. Low expression is observed in salivary gland, bone marrow, colon, stomach, polyp and larynx, with no expression in small intestine. Expression is induced by infection of bacteria and by interferon gamma. Beta Defensin 3 belongs to the beta-defensin family.Synonyms: BD3, Beta-defensin 103, DEFB103, DEFB103A, DEFB103B, DEFB3, Defensin beta 103, Defensin-like protein, HBD3, HBP3
