Specificity | | MAb414 is a reliable general purpose monoclonal antibody which recognizes a related family of NPC proteins. This antibody is ideal for studying the morphology and composition of the nucleus and nuclear envelope. It is also useful in studying changes in the nuclear structure during mitosis and meiosis. The antibody was raised using a nuclear pore complex mixture and was subsequently purified via Protein-G chromatography. It is believed to recognize the repeated FXFG repeat sequence in nuceloporins including p62, p152 and p90 and other proteins. |
Uses | | This antibody is effective in immunoblotting, immunohistochemistry (IHC), immunofluorescence (IF), immunoprecipitation (IP) and immunoelectron microscopy (IEM). This antibody has been used successfully in frozen sections. |
Suggested Working Dilution | | The optimal working dilution should be determined for each specific assay condition. - Western blot: 1:5,000*
- IF: 1:5,000
- IHC: 1:500
- IP: 1:5,000
- IEM: 1:5,000
