Lysozyme polyclonal, anti-human, pig, rat

Quantity: 100 µl

Background:
This gene encodes human lysozyme, whose natural substrate is the bacterial cell wall peptidoglycan (cleaving the beta[1-4]glycosidic linkages between N-acetylmuramic acid and N-acetylglucosamine). Lysozyme is one of the anti-microbial agents found in human milk, and is also present in spleen, lung, kidney, white blood cells, plasma, saliva, and tears. Missense mutations in LYZ have been identified in heritable renal amyloidosis.

Synonyms:
LYZ, LZM

Isotype: Rabbit Polyclonal

Immunogen:
Pure human lysozyme

Form: Serum containing 0.1% sodium azide

Specificity:
Malignant lymphoma of histiocytic origin (monocytes, macrophages) can be stained by the antibody and it can be used as macrophage differentiation marker.

Reactivity: human, pig, rat

Applications: Immunohistochemistry, frozen and paraffin-embedded sections (no pretreatment required)

Working DIlution: 1:25 to 1:50 for immunohistochemistry

Positive Control:
Human tonsil

Storage: 2-8C for immediate use, or at -20C (aliquot)
