Canavalia Concanavalin A polyclonal HRP, anti-plant

Quantity: 200 µl

Background:
Tested in immunoelectrophoresis, using different antigen/antibody concentration ratio's the antiserum gives one characteristic precipitin line. In enzyme-immunocytochemical and immunohistochemical staining of concanavalin A in appropriately prepared substrates.This immunoconjugate is not pre-diluted. The optimum working dilution of each conjugate should be established by titration before being used. Excess labelled antibody must be avoided because it may cause high unspecific background staining and interfere with the specific signal. The entire test system must be free of sodium azide, since it inhibits the enzyme activity. Working dilutions may vary widely and should be determined by titration.

Isotype: Goat Polyclonal

Source: The lectin concanavalin A is a cell-agglutinating protein reacting specifically with molecules which contain alpha-D-mannopyranosyl, alpha-D-glucopyranosyl and sterically related residues. At pH 4.5-5.6 it exist as a dimer, above pH 7.0 predominantly as a tetramer. The monomer has a molecular weight of about 52,000. Freund's complete adjuvant is used in the first step of the immunization procedure.

Form: Horseradish peroxidase-coupled purified hyperimmune goat IgG, in phosphate buffered saline (PBS, pH 7.2).

Specificity:
Horseradish peroxidase-conjugated IgG fraction of polyclonal Goat anti-Serum to concanavalin A from jack bean

Reactivity: Plant

Cross Reactivity:
Inter-species cross-reactivity is a normal feature of antibodies since homologous proteins of different species frequently share antigenic determinants. The degree of cross-reactivity is also dependent on the concentRation of the reactants and the sensitivity of the assay arrangement. Cross-reactivity of this antiserum has not been tested in detail.

Applications: ELISA, Immunocytochemistry, Immunohistochemistry (paraffin), Dot blot, Immunoblotting

Storage: Store at 4C, or in small aliquots at -20C.
