Reactivity

Rat
Purity

> 98% by SDS-PAGE & silver stain
Form

Lyophilized
Storage_stability

The lyophilized powder although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, is best stored desiccated at -20 degree C. Reconstituted rat CNTF should be stored in working aliquots at -20 degree C. For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HAS or BSA).
About

Rats are used to make rat monoclonal anti mouse antibodies. There are less rat- than mouse clones however. Rats genes from rodents of the genus Rattus norvegicus are often studied in vivo as a model of human genes in Sprague-Dawley or Wistar rats.
