GDF15 Antibody

SKU: orb345643

Description

NAG-1 antibody

Images & Validation

• Tested Applications: ELISA, IHC, WB
• Dilution Range: ELISA: 1:300,000, WB: 1:2,000 - 1:10,000
• Reactivity: Human, Mouse
• Application Notes:
  This affinity purified NAG-1 antibody has been tested by ELISA, IHC, and western blotting of human and mouse NAG-1 protein. For detection of NAG-1 in human serum, a sandwich ELISA is suggested using this antibody in combination with anti-NAG-1/GDF15 (N-terminal), H variant or D variant specific antibodies. Specific conditions for reactivity should be optimized by the end user. Expect bands in Western blots of approximately 14 and 28 kDa in size corresponding to NAG-1 monomer and dimer, respectively, using the appropriate cell lysate or extract.

Key Properties

• Antibody Type: Primary Antibody
• Host: Rabbit
• Clonality: Polyclonal
• Isotype: IgG
• Immunogen: This affinity purified antibody was prepared by repeated immunizations with a synthetic peptide corresponding to a region near the carboxy terminal end of human NAG-1 protein. A residue of cysteine was added to facilitate coupling to KLH.
• Target: GDF15
• Purity: This product was affinity purified from monospecific antiserum by immunoaffinity chromatography. This antibody reacts with the C-terminus of endogenous NAG-1 protein from human and mouse tissues. A BLAST analysis suggests reactivity with NAG-1 from chimpanzee and macaque based on a 100% homology. Partial reactivity is expected against rat based on an 86% homology with the immunizing sequence. Cross-reactivity with NAG-1 from other sources has not been determined.
• Conjugation: Unconjugated

Immunohistochemistry of Rabbit anti NAG1 antibody (C-terminal specific). Tissue: Human Colon at 20X in colon tissue at pH6. Negative control of human colon tissue pH6 is shown in background.

Immunohistochemistry of Rabbit anti NAG1 antibody (C-terminal specific). Tissue: Human Colon at 20X in colon tissue at pH9. Negative control of human colon tissue pH9 is shown in background.

Western blot using Biorbyt's affinity purified anti-NAG-1/GDF15 (C-terminal) antibody shows detection NAG-1 purified from CHO cells as a 14 kDa band corresponding to monomer and a 28 kDa band corresponding to dimerized NAG-1. Samples were electrophoresed on a 4-20% gradient gel under reducing conditions. Lane 1 shows NAG-1 detection. Lane 2 shows reactivity is blocked when this antibody is pre-incubated with the immunizing peptide prior to Western blotting.
