GDF15 Antibody

SKU: orb345644

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

Storage & Handling

• Storage: Store vial at -20° C or below prior to opening. This vial contains a relatively low volume of reagent (25 µL). To minimize loss of volume dilute 1:10 by adding 225 µL of the buffer stated above directly to the vial. Recap, mix thoroughly and briefly centrifuge to collect the volume at the bottom of the vial. Use this intermediate dilution when calculating final dilutions as recommended below. Store the vial at -20°C or below after dilution. Avoid cycles of freezing and thawing.
• Form/Appearance: Liquid (sterile filtered)
• Buffer/Preservatives: Preservative: 0.01% (w/v) Sodium Azide. Stabilizer: None; Buffer: 0.02 M Potassium Phosphate, 0.15 M Sodium Chloride, pH 7.2
• Concentration: 0.96 mg/mL
• Expiration Date: 12 months from date of receipt.
• Dry Ice Shipping: Please note: This product requires shipment on dry ice. A dry ice surcharge will apply.
