THETM Protein C Tag Antibody, mAb, Mouse recognizes N-terminal and C-terminal Protein C tagged fusion proteins.
Characteristics
The THETM Protein C Tag Antibody, mAb, Mouse is produced from the hybridoma resulting from fusion of SP2/0-Ag14 myeloma and B-lymphocytes obtained from mouse immunized with Protein C tag peptide conjugated to KLH.
Working concentrations for specific applications should be determined by the investigator. The appropriate concentrations may be affected by secondary antibody affinity, antigen concentration, the sensitivity of the method of detection, temperature, the length of the incubations, and other factors. The suitability of this antibody for applications other than those listed below has not been determined. The following concentration ranges are recommended starting points for this product. Western blot: 0.1-0.5 µg/mL. Immunoprecipitation: 1-5 µg/mL. Flow cytometry: 1-3 µg for 1 x 10^6 cells. ICC/IF: 1-3 µg/mL. ELISA: 0.001-0.002 µg/mL.
Restrictions
For Research Use only
Format
Lyophilized
Reconstitution
Reconstitute the lyophilized product with deionized water (or equivalent) to make antibody concentration of 0.5 mg/mL.
Buffer
PBS, pH 7.4, 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 repeated freezing and thawing cycles.
Storage
4 °C/-20 °C
Storage Comment
THETM Protein C Tag Antibody, mAb, Mouse should be stored lyophilized until use. It remains stable in lyophilized form if stored at -20°C or below. The reconstituted antibody can be stored for 2-3 weeks at 2-8°C or for up to 12 months at -20°C or below.
Protein C is a Vitamin K-dependent plasma zymogen that is activated by proteolytic cleavage of the thrombin-thrombomodulin complex to form an anticoagulant enzyme. Protein C Tag is a 12 amino acid sequence EDQVDPRLIDGK, which encodes residues 6 through 17 of the heavy chain of the protein. Protein C Tag Antibody is a useful tool in analysis of Protein C fusion proteins.
