Specificity and cross reactivity
GLUTAMATE DECARBOXYLASE 2 This item specifically recognises an epitope within the N-terminal (NT) region of Glutamate decarboxylase 2, otherwise known as GAD65/GAD2, an ampiphilic membrane-anchored protein and member of the group 2 decarboxylase family, principally expressed in the brain and also in pancreatic beta cells. GAD65 catalyzes the decarboxylation of glutamate to GABA, the major inhibitory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system. GAD65 is the 65kDa isoform of GAD, encoded by the GAD2 gene, which is predominantly expressed by nerve termini, as oppose to the 67kDa isoform (GAD67), which is predominantly found in the cell body, and is encoded by the GAD1 gene. Studies have shown the presence of autoantibodies to GAD65 (GAD65Ab) in autoimmune diseases, including Graves' disease and Stiff Man Syndrome (SMS), but GAD65Ab are most prevalent in patients with Type I diabetes mellitus, and those at high risk of developing Type I diabetes. The N-Terminal region of GAD65 lacks the epitopes for GAD65Ab in Type I diabetes patients, and has been shown as essential for targeting the enzyme to GABA-containing secretory vesicles. Clone N-GAD65 has been shown to be highly specific for GAD65 and does not recognise GAD67; Since it is not possible to test each and every species our knowledge on the corss reactivity of the antibodies is limited. This particular antibody might cross react with speacies outside of the listed ones.

Storage and shipping
Store the antibody at +4 degrees Celsius for short-term storage and at -20 degrees Celsius for long-term.Storage in frost-free freezers is not recommended. the antibody should be stored undiluted. Repeated freeze - thaw cycles may denature the peptide chains of the antibody and therefore should be maximally avoided. If there is a precipitate in the vial we recommend you to briefly microcentrifugate it prior to use. Shelf Life: 18 months from date of dispatch.

Description
This antibody needs to be stored at + 4°C in a fridge short term in a concentrated dilution. Freeze thaw will destroy a percentage in every cycle and should be avoided. Antibody for research use.

Properties
If you buy Antibodies supplied by MBS Monoclonals they should be stored frozen at - 24°C for long term storage and for short term at + 5°C. Human proteins, cDNA and human recombinants are used in human reactive ELISA kits and to produce anti-human mono and polyclonal antibodies. Modern humans (Homo sapiens, primarily ssp. Homo sapiens sapiens). Depending on the epitopes used human ELISA kits can be cross reactive to many other species. Mainly analyzed are human serum, plasma, urine, saliva, human cell culture supernatants and biological samples.

Test
MBS Monoclonals supplies antibodies that are for research of human proteins. Mouse or mice from the Mus musculus species are used for production of mouse monoclonal antibodies or mabs and as research model for humans in your lab. Mouse are mature after 40 days for females and 55 days for males. The female mice are pregnant only 20 days and can give birth to 10 litters of 6-8 mice a year. Transgenic, knock-out, congenic and inbread strains are known for C57BL/6, A/J, BALB/c, SCID while the CD-1 is outbred as strain.
