alpha -Synuclein polyclonal antibody

Long term: -20 °C<br>Vial contents, Storage and Use: Vial contains an immunoglobulin preparation, partially purified by chromatography from whole serum, suspended in phosphate-buffered saline (pH 7.4) containing 0.01M sodium azide. Store unopened vial at -20 °C until required for use. AVOID REPEATED FREEZE-THAW CYCLES. Aliquot undiluted antibody into smaller volumes (not less than 10uL) prior to freezing if appropriate. The use of high quality "antiserum-grade"plastic or glass vials is recommended. Store diluted antibody at 2-4 °C (do not freeze) and use within 1 month. Dilute to working strength with 50mM PBS (pH 7.4) containing 1.5% sodium chloride and 1% normal goat serum (if a goat anti-rabbit IgG linker antibody is to be used).

This antibody has been shown to react strongly with human brain-derived alpha-synuclein. The antibody also reacts with rat brain-derived alpha-synuclein but reactivity appears substantially less than with human.
