Size

£326.00

SKU:: L2601-01
Purity:: Purified by affinity chromatography.
Storage Conditions:: -20°C
Supplier:: United States Biological
Host:: Rabbit
Immunogen:: Synthetic peptide of the complement homology region within the ligand binding site of the LDL receptor extracellular domain. Epitope: between aa184-195, the linker region between repeats 4 and 5.
Format:: Supplied as a liquid in PBS, 0.5% BSA.
Extra Details:: The LDL Receptor (160kD mature or glycosylated receptor; 120kD precursor or unglycosylated receptor) plays a key role in cellular cholesterol homeostasis. Applications: Suitable for use in Western Blot, Flow Cytometry and Immunohistochemistry. Other applications have not been tested. Recommended Dilutions: Western Blot: 1:100-1:200 Immunohistochemistry (Frozen): 1:20-1:50 Immunohistochemistry (Paraffin): 1:20-1:50. Microwave treatment is recommended Note: It is best to work with partialy purified material. In the case of rat (probably also mouse), induce LDLR expression prior to the isolation of culture cells or tissue homogenate. It is always better to use cultured cells. In rat, use estradiol to induce LDLR expression. Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher. Additional Specificity Data: May be used for visualization of the LDL receptor in Western blot, independent of its oxidation state. Binds to the LDL receptor in the native state and under reducing conditions. Exhibits high affinity binding for LDL receptors on the cellular surface (eg monocytes). The antibody was found superior for cellular binding studies when compared with the mouse monoclonal anti-human LDL receptor antibody produced by the mouse IgC7 hybridoma cell line. Positive Control: A-172 cells and liver sections Negative Control: NIH 3T3 cells and normal skin Storage and Stability: May be stored at 4°C for short-term only. Aliquot to avoid repeated freezing and thawing. Store at -20°C. Aliquots are stable for 12 months after receipt. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap.
