ANTI-C-FOS (AB-1) MOUSE MAB (C005B-441874)

General description

Purified mouse monoclonal antibody generated by immunizing BALB/c mice with the specified immunogen and fusing splenocytes with AG.8653X mouse myeloma cells. Recognizes the ~55 kDa c-fos and the ~62 kDa v-fos proteins.

Recognizes both the ~55 kDa c-Fos and ~62 kDa v-Fos proteins in HeLa cells. Does not cross-react with the ~39 kDa Jun protein.

This Anti-c-Fos (Ab-1) Mouse mAb (2G9C3) is validated for use in Immunoblotting, Immunocytochemistry, Paraffin Sections for the detection of c-Fos (Ab-1).

Immunogen

Human

a synthetic peptide (KVEQLSPEEEEKRRIRRERNKMAAA) corresponding to amino acids 128-152 of human c-Fos

Application

Immunoblotting (2.5-5 µg/ml)

Immunocytochemistry (2.5-5 µg/ml)

Paraffin Sections (not recommended)

Warning

Toxicity: Standard Handling (A)

Physical form

Lyophilized from a volatile buffer, 200 µg BSA.

Reconstitution

Reconstitute in sterile PBS, PH 7.4, or sterile Tris-saline (20 mM Tris containing 150 mM NaCl), pH 7.4, to a final concentration of 200 µg/ml. To achieve complete solubilization, reconstitute at (4°C) with 0.1% sodium azide or aliqout and freeze (-20°C) for long-term storage. Note: sodium azide is cytotoxic.
