Applications for Aggrecan Antibody (BC-3) [Biotin]

Application
Recommended Usage

ELISA

Optimal dilutions of this antibody should be experimentally determined.

Immunocytochemistry/ Immunofluorescence

Optimal dilutions of this antibody should be experimentally determined.

Immunohistochemistry

Optimal dilutions of this antibody should be experimentally determined.

Immunohistochemistry-Frozen

Optimal dilutions of this antibody should be experimentally determined.

Application Notes
This Aggrecan antibody is useful in Immunohistochemistry, ELISA and Western blot. With IHC the antibody works in formalin- or paraformaldehyde-fixed paraffin embedded sections as well as either alcohol-fixed frozen sections or un-fixed snap-frozen sections. In Western blot the antibody detects a variety of epitopes between 50 and 250 kDa. The observed molecular weight of the protein may vary from the listed predicted molecular weight due to post translational modifications, post translation cleavages, relative charges, and other experimental factors.

Shipping

The product is shipped with polar packs. Upon receipt, store it immediately at the temperature recommended below.

Stability & Storage

Store at 4C in the dark.

Background: Aggrecan

This aggrecan degradation product usually remains within the tissue still complexed to hyaluronan and link protein. Its release from the cartilage usually signals that there has been extensive catabolism of aggrecan, which allows large complexes containing this metabolite to be released from the tissue.
