Beta-2 Microglobulin Antibody

• Catalog Number: orb749753
• Category: Antibodies
• Description: Serum Beta-2 Microglobulin (B2M) levels are a reflection of cell turnover. Levels rise with fever, inflammation, and infection. Increased serum levels are also seen in B-cell malignancies and in renal failure and may indicate a worse prognosis for patients with early-stage Hodgkin's lymphoma.
• Clonality: Monoclonal
• Species/Host: Mouse
• Isotype: Mouse IgG1, kappa
• Conjugation: Unconjugated
• Reactivity: Human
• Immunogen: Full length recombinant human protein was used as the immunogen for the B2M antibody.
• UniProt ID: P61769
• Tested applications: FACS, IF, IHC-P, WB
• Dilution range: Immunohistochemistry (FFPE): 1-2ug/ml for 30 min at RT,Flow cytometry: 1-2ug/million cells,Immunofluorescence: 1-2ug/ml,Western blot: 1-2ug/ml
• Application notes: Optimal dilution of the Beta-2 Microglobulin antibody should be determined by the researcher.1. Staining of formalin/paraffin tissues requires boiling tissue sections in pH 9 10mM Tris with 1mM EDTA for 10-20 min followed by cooling at RT for 20 min.2. The prediluted format is supplied in a dropper bottle and is optimized for use in IHC. After epitope retrieval step (if required), drip mAb solution onto the tissue section and incubate at RT for 30 min.
• Antibody Type: Primary Antibody
• Clone Number: SPM617
• Formula: 0.2 mg/ml in 1X PBS with 0.1 mg/ml BSA (US sourced) and 0.05% sodium azide
• Storage: Maintain refrigerated at 2-8°C for up to 2 weeks. For long term storage store at -20°C in small aliquots to prevent freeze-thaw cycles.
• Hazard Information: This B2M antibody is available for research use only.
• Note: For research use only
