Lipoprotein, Low Density, Cu2+ oxidized (oxLDL)

Lyophilized powder may be stored at -20 °C. Stable for 12 months at -20 °C. Reconstitute with sterile ddH2O. Aliquot to avoid repeated freezing and thawing. Store at -20 °C. Reconstituted product is stable for 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.

Recognizes human Cu2+-oxidized LDL. Shows strong reactivity to fully oxidized modifications of LDL including Cu 2+-oxidized LDL, MDA-LDL, HOCL-LDL, but not to other oxidized proteins like MDA-HSA, MDA-HDL, HOCL-HSA, HOCL-HDL (below detection limit). The reaction to native LDL was weak, but clearly detectable (~20%). Minimally oxidized LDL gave a strong binding signal (>80%).
