Anti - Resistin-like Molecule, beta (RELMb)

May be stored at 4 °C for short-term only. For long-term storage and to avoid repeated freezing and thawing, aliquot and add glycerol (40-50%). Freeze at -20 °C. Aliquots are stable for at least 12 months at -20 °C. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer.

Mouse sequence is only 42% conserved in human RELM-beta. We recommend the use of antibody that is raised to human RELM-beta sequence. No significant sequence was found with resistin or RELM-alpha. Antibody crossreactivity in various species is not established. We recommend the use of control peptide (use 5-10 ug of peptide per 1 ug of aff pure or 1 ul of antiserum) to demonstrate antibody specificity. Control peptides, because of their small size (< 2kD), are not suitable for Western.
