IBA1 Antibody / AIF-1

• Catalog Number: orb2641200
• Category: Antibodies
• Description: AIF1 (Allograft inflammatory factor 1), also called IBA1 (Ionized calcium-binding adapter molecule 1) is a cytoplasmic, calcium-binding protein that is thought to play a role in macrophage activation and function. AIF1/IBA1, containing two EF domains, is induced by cytokines and Interferons. In an unstimulated state, it colocalizes with actin, and upon stimulation, translocates to lamellipodia. It is also a marker of human microglia and is expressed by macrophages in injured skeletal muscle. The gene encoding the protein resides in the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) cluster of genes, located in the region represented by the human major histocompatibility complex (MHC).

Analysis of HuProt (TM) microarray containing more than 19, 000 full-length human proteins using recombinant IBA1 antibody (clone rAIF1/1909). These results demonstrate the foremost specificity of the rAIF1/1909 mAb. Z- and S- score: The Z-score represents the strength of a signal that an antibody (in combination with a fluorescently-tagged anti-IgG secondary Ab) produces when binding to a particular protein on the HuProt (TM) array. Z-scores are described in units of standard deviations (SD's) above the mean value of all signals generated on that array. If the targets on the HuProt (TM) are arranged in descending order of the Z-score, the S-score is the difference (also in units of SD's) between the Z-scores. The S-score therefore represents the relative target specificity of an Ab to its intended target.
