GDF15 Antibody – Rat Monoclonal

Monoclonal

IgG2a,I

6D12.H10.E4

Rat

Chimpanzee, Macaque

0.02 M Potassium Phosphate, pH 7.2, 0.15 M NaCl, 0.01% Sodium Azide.

Protein G Purified chromatography

1 mg/ml (lot specific)

This antibody reacts with the C-terminus of endogenous NAG-1 protein from human 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.

Store vial at -20°C prior to opening. Dilute only prior to immediate use. For extended storage, aliquot contents and freeze at -20°C or below. Avoid freeze-thaw cycles. Centrifuge product if not completely clear after standing at room temperature. This product is stable several weeks at 4°C as an undiluted liquid.

GDF15 antibody raised against Mouse

Recombinant protein

GDF15 antibody was raised against this Protein-A purified antibody was prepared by repeated immunizations with an MBP-tagged recombinant protein produced in E Coli corresponding to full-length mouse NAG-1 protein. Cross reactivity to MBP is negative.

C-Terminus

Due to the highly specific nature of antibodies and antigens, we cannot predict or be held responsible with respect to how this antibody will behave in your systems. Researchers using this antibody should conduct optimization studies to achieve the most optimal result possible for their intended application.

The following protocol is a recommendation only, and MyBioSource, Inc. makes no guarantee of the results:

Tissue Preparation:
Formalin fixation and embedding in paraffin wax.

Tissue Sectioning:
Make 4-um sections and place on pre-cleaned and charged microscope slides. Heat in a tissue-dryingoven for 45 minutes at 60°C.

Deparaffinization:
Wash dry slides in 3 changes of xylene - 5 minutes each @ RT

Rehydration:
Wash slides in 3 changes of 100% alcohol - 3 minutes each @ RT
Wash slides in 2 changes of 95% alcohol - 3 minutes each @ RT
Wash slides in 1 change of 80% alcohol - 3 minutes @ RT
Rinse slides in gentle running distilled water - 5 minutes @ RT

Antigen retrieval:
Steam slides in 0.01 M sodium citrate buffer, pH 6.0 at 99-100°C - 20 minutes
Remove from heat and let stand at room temperature in buffer - 20 minutes
Rinse in 1X TBS with Tween (TBST) -1 minute @ RT

Immunostaining:
(Do not allow tissues to dry at any time during the staining procedure)
Apply a universal protein block - 20 minutes @ RT
Drain protein block from slides, apply diluted primary antibody - 45 minutes @ RT
Rinse slides in 1 X TBST - 1 minute @ RT
Apply a biotinylated secondary antibody appropriate for the primary antibody - 30 minutes @ RT
Rinse slides in 1X TBST -1 minute @ RT
Apply alkaline phosphatase streptavidin - 30 minutes @ RT
Rinse slides in 1X TBST -1 minute @ RT
Apply alkaline phosphatase chromogen substrate - 30 minutes @ RT
Wash slides in distilled water - 1 minute @ RT

Dehydrate:
(This method should only be used if the chromogen substrate is alcohol insoluble (e.g. Vector Red, DAB)
Wash slides in 2 changes of 80% alcohol - 1 minute each @ RT
Wash slides in 2 changes of 95% alcohol - 1 minute each @ RT
Wash slides in 3 changes of 100% alcohol - 1 minute each @ RT
Wash slides in 3 changes of xylene - 1 minute each @ RT
