This Oxalate Decarboxylase antibody is un-conjugated
Application
Immunofluorescence (IF), Western Blotting (WB), Enzyme Immunoassay (EIA), Immunodiffusion (ID), Immunoprecipitation (IP), Radioimmunoassay (RIA), Dot Blot (DB)
Specificity
Oxalate Decarboxylase from Aspergillus species. The reagents were evaluated for potency, purity and specificity using most or all of the following techniques: Immunoelectrophoresis, Cross-Immunoelectrophoresis, Single Radial Immunodiffusion (Ouchterlony), block titration, ELISA, Immunoblotting and enzyme inhibition. Cross-reactivities against enzymes of other sources may occur but have not been determined.
Purification
Ammonium Sulphate Precipitation and Ion Exchange Chromatography
Immunogen
Oxalate Decarboxylase isolated and purified from Aspergillus species. Freund’s complete adjuvant is used in the first step of the immunization procedure.
Optimal working dilution should be determined by the investigator.
Restrictions
For Research Use only
Reconstitution
Restore by adding 1.0 mL of sterile distilled water
Concentration
10 mg/mL
Buffer
PBS, pH 7.2 without preservatives and foreign proteins
Preservative
Without preservative
Storage
4 °C/-20 °C
Storage Comment
Store the antibody lyophilized at 2-8 °C and reconstituted at 2-8 °C for one week or (in aliquots) at -20 °C for longer. If a slight precipitation occurs upon storage, this should be removed by centrifugation.
Oxalates in animals including humans originate mostly from the diet, especially through ingestion of leafy vegetables and other plant parts. The catabolic pathway of oxalic acid is present in bacteria, fungi, and plants but not in vertebrates. Therefore, management of oxalate in humans is very important because of the absence of any enzyme system that can degrade oxalate. Excess ingestion of oxalate leads to an acute oxalate toxicity, which can result in a variety of disorders including renal failure and urolithiasis (Curhan 1997).Synonyms: OXDC, Oxalate Carboxy-lyase
