Goat anti Human prealbumin

Goat anti Human prealbumin

• Background: The defined antibody specificity is directed to transthyretin as tested against Human sera. In immunoelectrophoresis and double radial immunodiffusion (Ouchterlony), using various antiserum concentrations against appropriate concentrations of the immunogen, a single characteristic precipitin line is obtained which shows a reaction of identity with the precipitin lines obtained against Human serum and the purified transthyretin. As precipitating antiserum to identify or measure Human transthyretin by a variety of immunodiffusion techniques, including immunoelectrophoresis, single and double radial immunodiffusion (Mancini, Ouchterlony) and electroimmunodiffusion (Laurell). It has not been tested for use in nephelometry, ELISA or immunochemistry, but this does not exclude such use if proper controls are included.
• CAS Number: 9007-83-4
• UniProt: P02766
• Host: Goat
• Clone: Polyclonal
• Source: Transthyretin is the fastest protein in the immunoelectrophoresis pattern of Human serum. It consists of four identical polypeptide chains with no carbohydrate The molecular weight is 55,000 and the concentration in normal serum ranges from 0.1 to 0.4 mg/mL. It can bind thyroxine and retinal and its concentration is reduced in severe liver diseases. Freund’s complete adjuvant is used in the first step of the immunization procedure.
• Assay Principle: Precipitation assays. In immunoelectrophoresis use 2 μl serum, plasma or equivalent against 120 μl antiserum. In double radial immunodiffusion (Ouchterlony) use a rosette arrangement with 10 μl antiserum in a 3 mm diameter centre well and 2 μl serum samples (neat and serially diluted) in 2 mm diameter peripheral wells. In single radial immunodiffusion and electroimmunodiffusion use 0.5 to 1.0 percent antiserum in the agar gel.
• Form: Delipidated, heat inactivated, lyophilized, stable whole antiserum; No preservative added; Total protein and IgG concentrations in the antiserum are comparable to those in pooled goat serum; No foreign proteins added; Reconstitute the lyophilized antiserum by adding 1 mL sterile distilled water
• Precautions: This product is intended FOR RESEARCH USE ONLY, and FOR TESTS IN VITRO, not for use in diagnostic or therapeutic procedures involving Humans or animals. This datasheet is as accurate as reasonably achievable, but Nordic-MUbio accepts no liability for any inaccuracies or omissions in this information.
• Storage Conditions: The lyophilized antiserum is shipped at ambient temperature and may be stored at +4°C; prolonged storage at or below -20°C; Dilutions may be prepared by adding phosphate buffered saline (PBS, pH 7.2); Repeated thawing and freezing should be avoided; If a slight precipitation occurs upon storage, this should be removed by centrifugation; It will not affect the performance of the antiserum Diluted antiserum should be stored at +4°C, not refrozen, and preferably used the same day
