Description | | Polyclonal Antibody against Mouse Loricrin (AF 62) |
Intended Use | | ** In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) ** |
Form | | Affinity Purified Antibody (Stored in PBS+ 0.03% Thimerosal) |
Host | | Rabbit |
Species Reactivity | | Human, Mouse |
[Ab] | | 1 mg/mL |
Specificity | | Loricrin Polyclonal Antibody, Purified This monospecific polyclonal antibody was raised against a peptide sequence derived from the C-terminus of the mouse loricrin protein. It was subsequently purified using peptide affinity chromatography. |
Uses | | This antibody is effective in immunoblotting (WB), immunofluorescence (IF) and immunohistochemistry (IHC). This antibody has been used successfully in both frozen and paraffin embedded tissues. |
Suggested Working Dilution | | The optimal working dilution should be determined for each specific assay condition. - WB: 1:1,000*
- IF: 1:500
- IHC: 1:1,000 with either biotin based detection systems such as USA Ultra Streptavidin Detection (SIG-32250) or polymer based detection systems such as ACUITYAdvanced Biotin Free Polymer Detection (SIG-32902).
Tissue Sections: Paraffin-embedded tissues Pretreatment: For optimal staining, the sections should be pretreated with an antigen unmasking solution such as Citrate Buffer Retrieval solution (SIG-31932, SIG-31934). Incubation: 60 minutes at room temperature |
Notes | | Predicted MW = In mouse, expect a 57 kDa band while in human, the band may fall between 26-30 kDa. |
Storage | | When stored at ≤20°C, product is stable until the date shown on the label. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles to prevent denaturing the antibody. If thawed and stored at 2-8°C, product is stable for 24 months from the date of thaw or until the expiry date on the label, whichever comes first. |
