APP Antibody

Rabbit anti-Beta Amyloid Antibody, ß-amyloid, Amyloid beta A4 protein, Alzheimer disease amyloid protein, Beta amyloid, A-beta, ABPP, APPI, Beta-amyloid precursor protein

This antibody was affinity purified from whole rabbit serum prepared by repeated immunizations with a synthetic peptide corresponding to an extracellular region of human beta amyloid conjugated to KLH using maleimide.

This affinity purified antibody is directed against extracellular region of beta amyloid and is useful in determining its presence in various assays. Polyclonal anti-beta amyloid detects human and mouse beta amyloid. Blast analysis of the sequence of the immunogen shows 100% identity with Human, Guinea Pig, Pig, Cyno Monkey, Dog, Polar Bear, Rabbit, Chimp, Squirrel monkey, and Sheep. Cross reactivity with beta amyloid from other species is likely but has not been determined.

Store vial at -20° C or below prior to opening. This vial contains a relatively low volume of reagent (25 μL) . To minimize loss of volume dilute 1:10 by adding 225 μL of the buffer stated above directly to the vial. Recap, mix thoroughly and briefly centrifuge to collect the volume at the bottom of the vial. Use this intermediate dilution when calculating final dilutions as recommended below. Store the vial at -20°C or below after dilution. Avoid cycles of freezing and thawing.

Affinity purified anti-beta amyloid has been tested by ELISA, IHC, WB, and IF. A 45.8kDa band is detected in western blot using whole tissue extracts and lysates from mouse and human. In general, we recommend the use of 4% PFA or 10% formalin for fixation of tissues with IHC-paraffin or IHC-frozen application of this antibody.
