This antibody recognises the scrapie-associated protease-resistant isoform (PrPsc) of ovine prion protein (PrP). Clone 2G11 specifically recognises the Re151-Re159 sequence and does not recognise the non-pathogenic PrPec form.
Characteristics
Synonyms: Major prion protein, PrP27-30, PrP33-35C, ASCR, PRNP, PRIP
ELISA: 1/50 - 1/1000, Tested on peptide. Immunohistochemistry on paraffin sections: suitable for use on tissue fixed in 4 % neutralbuffered formalin. Treatment of tissue sections in 98 % formic acid, for 30 minutes, isrecommended prior to pre-treatment with trypsin at 37C for 5 minutes followed by heatmediated retrieval with 10 mM citrate buffer pH 6.1. Other applications not tested. Optimal dilutions are dependent on conditions and should be determined by the user.

The prion protein is encoded by the PrP gene and is constitutively expressed as the normal cellular isoform PrPec by many cell types. Transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSE) are neurodegenerative diseases in which the accumulation of the abnormal PrPesc isoform in tissues, of the lymphoid and central nervous system, is thought to be a key event. Studies suggest that PrPesc is the causative agent of transmissible spongiform encephalitis (TSE) but this has not been confirmed.Synonyms: ASCR, Major prion protein, PRIP, PRNP, PrP27-30, PrP33-35C
