Anti-Ricin (RTA subunit), clone MMA

• Background:

  Ricinis a protein found in castor bean (Ricinus communis) acting as protein synthesis inhibitor. It is a toxin involved in plant defence. A chain of ricin can inactivate few thousands of ribosomes per minute. B chain facilitates the entry of A chain into the cell.

• Host:

  Mouse

• Reactivity:

  Ricinus communis

• Not reactive in:

  No confirmed exceptions from predicted reactivity are currently known

• Immunogen:

  Ricin, RTA subunit

• Clonality:

  Monoclonal

• Applications:

  ELISA (ELISA), Immunohistochemistry (IHC)

• Dilution:

  The optimal working dilution should be determined by the investigator, for specific application

• Purity:

  Purified IgG in PBS pH 7.4 with mannitol.

• Format:

  Lyophilized

• Reconstitution:

  For reconstitution add 200 µl of sterile water

• Molecular Weight:

  29.8 kDa

• Precautions:

  Detected epitope is located on the surface of RTA subunit not accssible in intact ricin molecule, This antibody does not cross-react to whole ricin molecule

• Storage Conditions:

  Store at -70°C; once reconstituted make aliquots to avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. Please remember to spin the tubes briefly prior to opening them to avoid any losses that might occur from material adhering to the cap or sides of the tube., For storage at 4°C sodium azide can be added

• CAS Number:

  9007-83-4
