Reactivity
Human
(tested or 100% immunogen sequence identity)
Conjugations
Horseradish Peroxidase
Purification
Affinity purified
Immunogen
This affinity purified antibody was prepared by repeated immunizations with a synthetic peptide corresponding to a region near the amino terminal end of human NAG-1 protein. A residue of cysteine was added to facilitate coupling to KLH.
Specificity
This antibody specifically reacts with a D variant sequence of human NAG-1 protein from human tissues. A BLAST analysis was used to suggest partial reactivity with NAG-1 from chimpanzee and macaque based on a 92% homology. Cross-reactivity with NAG-1 from other sources has not been determined.
Usage
This affinity purified antibody is suitable for use in ELISA and western blotting assays. This reagent is particularly useful to differentiate polymorphic forms of NAG-1 protein present in human serum samples. This antibody is useful in dual antibody immunometric assays (EIA). Specific conditions for reactivity should be optimized by the end user. The applications listed have been tested for the unconjugated form of this product. Other forms have not been tested.
