Store product at 4 degree C if to be used immediately within two weeks. For long-term storage, aliquot to avoid repeated freezing and thawing and store at -20 degree C. Aliquots are stable at -20 degree C for 12 months after receipt. Dilute required amount only prior to immediate use. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap.

Specific for rat Nogo-A. On Western blots for rat brain homogenates, it identifies a band at ~190kD. The faint bands at lower molecular weights may represent the deglycosylated form(s) or degradation product(s) of rat Nogo-A. Reactivity has been confirmed with rat brain homogenates. Based on amino acid sequence homolog, cross-reactivity with human is expected.
