WB, ELISA
Host: Rabbit
Polyclonal
unconjugated
Restrictions
For Research Use only
Format
Liquid
Buffer
PBS containing 0.02 % sodium azide.
Preservative
Sodium azide
Precaution of Use
WARNING: Reagents contain sodium azide. Sodium azide is very toxic if ingested or inhaled. Avoid contact with skin, eyes, or clothing. Wear eye or face protection when handling. If skin or eye contact occurs, wash with copious amounts of water. If ingested or inhaled, contact a physician immediately. Sodium azide yields toxic hydrazoic acid under acidic conditions. Dilute azide-containing compounds in running water before discarding to avoid accumulation of potentially explosive deposits in lead or copper plumbing.
Handling Advice
Avoid freezing and thawing repeatly.
Storage
4 °C/-20 °C
Storage Comment
Store at 4 °C for short term use.Store at -20 °C for long term preservation.
Apoptosis, or programmed cell death, occurs during normal cellular differentiation and development of multicellular organisms.Apoptosis is induced by certain cytokines including TNF and Fas ligand in the TNF family through their death domain containing receptors, TNFR1 and Fas.A novel death domain containing receptor was recently identified and designated DR4 (for death receptor 4).The ligand for this novel death receptor has been identified and termed TRAIL, which is a new member in the TNF family.DR4 is also called TRAIL receptor-1 (TRAIL-R1).DR4 is expressed in most of human tissues including spleen, peripheral blood leukocytes, small intestine and thymus.Like TNFR1, Fas and DR3, DR4 mediates apoptosis and NF-kappaB activation in many tissues and cells.
