Heparan Sulfate delta (3G10 epitope)

May be stored at 4°C for short-term only. Aliquot to avoid repeated freezing and thawing. Store at -20°C. Aliquots are stable for 12 months. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap.

Recognizes human heparan sulfate neo-epitope, generated by digesting heparan sulfate with heparitinase from Flavobacterium heparinum (EC4.2.2.8). The desaturated hexuronate (glucuronate) that is present at the non-reducing end of the heparan sulfate fragments created by the enzyme is critical for the reactivity of the antibody. Does not react with oligosaccharides generated from chondroitin sulfates with bacterial chondroitin ABC or AC lyases or generated from heparan sulfate with heparinase (EC4.2.2.7).
