Immunohistochemistry: This antibody stained formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded sections of human renal tumor with parenchyma tissue. The recommended concentration is 0.25ug/mL-0.50ug/mL with an overnight incubation at 4°C. An HRP-labeled polymer detection system was used with a DAB chromogen. Optimal results for these conditions were achieved with heat induced antigen retrieval with a pH 6 sodium citrate buffer. Optimal concentrations and conditions may vary. Neutralization: To yield one-half maximal inhibition [ND] of the biological activity of hMIG (100 ng/ml), a concentration of 5-7 ug/ml of this antibody is required. ELISA: To detect hMIG by sandwich ELISA (using 100 ul/well antibody solution) a concentration of 0.5-2 ug/ml of this antibody is required. This antigen affinity purified antibody, in conjunction with Biotinylated Anti-Human MIG (
LS-C104825) as a detection antibody, allows the detection of at least 0.2-0.4 ng/well of recombinant hMIG. Western Blot: To detect hMIG by Western Blot analysis this antibody can be used at a concentration of 0.1-0.2 ug/ml. Used in conjunction with compatible secondary reagents the detection limit for recombinant hMIG is 1.5-3 ng/lane, under either reducing or non-reducing conditions.
