DFF45 Antibody : FITC (OAPB00023-FITC)

All conjugated antibodies should be stored in light-protected vials or covered with a light protecting material (i.e. aluminum foil) . Conjugated antibodies are stable for at least 12 months at 4C. If longer storage is desired (24 months), conjugates may be diluted with up to 50% glycerol and stored at -20C to -80C. Freezing and thawing conjugated antibodies will compromise enzyme activity as well as antibody binding.

DFF45 antibody can be used for detection of DFF45 and one of the cleaved fragments of DFF45 by Western blotat 1:1000 to 1:2000 dilution and for immunoprecipitation. A 45 kDa band can be detected in non-apoptotic cells. (Optimal dilution should be determined by user)
