Description

Store vial at 4C prior to restoration. For extended storage aliquot contents and freeze at -20C or below. Avoid cycles of freezing and thawing. Centrifuge product if not completely clear after standing at room temperature. This product is stable for several weeks at 4C as an undiluted liquid. Dilute only prior to immediate use.

This antibody is an IgG fraction antibody purified from monospecific antiserum by a multi-step process which includes delipidation, salt fractionation and ion exchange chromatography followed by extensive dialysis against the buffer stated above. Assay by immunoelectrophoresis resulted in a single precipitin arc against anti-Biotin and anti-Goat Serum as well as purified and partially purified alpha-2-MACROGLOBULIN [Human Plasma]

Scientific Data Images for alpha 2-Macroglobulin Antibody [Biotin]

Western Blot: alpha 2-Macroglobulin Antibody [Biotin] [NB600-939] - Lane 1: alpha 2-Macroglobulin Antibody. Lane 2: none. Load: 100 ug per lane. Primary antibody:alpha 2-Macroglobulin biotin conjugated antibody at 1:1000 for overnight at 4C. Secondary antibody: HRP Streptavidin secondary antibody at 1:40,000 for 30 min at RT. Blocking buffer for 30 min at RT. Predicted/Observed size: 163 kDa, 178 kDa for Alpha-2-Macroglobulin. Other band(s): Alpha-2-Macroglobulin splice variants and isoforms.
Western Blot: alpha 2-Macroglobulin Antibody [Biotin] [NB600-939] - Goat anti Alpha-2-Macroglobulin antibody was used to detect alpha 2-Macroglobulin under reducing (R) and non-reducing (NR) conditions. Reduced samples of purified target proteins contained 4% BME and were boiled for 5 minutes. Samples of ~1ug of protein per lane were run by SDS-PAGE. Protein was transferred to nitrocellulose and probed with 1:3000 dilution of primary antibody. Detection shown was using Dylight 649 conjugated Donkey anti goat 1:10K in TBS 1 hr RT.

Background: alpha 2-Macroglobulin

Alpha 2 macroglobulin is a serum protein which is mainly synthesised in the liver. It functions as a broad range irreversible proteinase inhibitor that forms a "trap" around most proteases. Alpha 2 macroglobulin is is a tetrameric molecule, and with a molecular weight of 720 kDa, it so large a molecule that it tends to remain intravascular. Following conformational change, the protinase is deposited within a central cavity where it is still active but prevented from further contact with its substrate. Removal of the complex is mediated by the generation of recognition sites which react with receptors on a variety of cells including macrophages and liver cells. Alpha 2 macroglobulin is localized on the surface of peripheral blood lymphocytes.
