Specificity |  | This antibody is reactive to amino acid residue 1-16 of beta amyloid. The epitope lies within amino acids 3-8 of beta amyloid (EFRHDS). Beta amyloid forms are deposited in the CNS of patients with Alzheimer’s disease and Down’s syndrome. Covances beta amyloid antibody 6E10 reacts to the abnormally processed isoforms, as well as precursor forms. |
Uses |  | This antibody is effective in immunoblotting, immunohistochemistry (IHC), immunoprecipitation (IP), and ELISA. |
Suggested Working Dilution |  | The optimal working dilution should be determined for each specific assay condition. - IHC:
Tissue Sections: Formalin-fixed human paraffin-embedded brain sections Pretreatment: Formic acid (70%) for 10-30 minutes at room temperature |
Storage |  | Beta Amyloid, 1-16 (6E10) Monoclonal Antibody Low Endotoxin, Purified Exclusively Provided by CovanceStore at -20°C or below. Upon initial thawing, apportion into working aliquots and store at -20°C or below. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles to prevent denaturing the antibody. Do not store in frost-free freezers. |
