MST1R Antibody

Rabbit anti-RON antibody, Macrophage-stimulating protein receptor, MSP receptor, Protein-tyrosine kinase 8, p185-Ron, PTK8, RON, c-met-related tyrosine kinase, CD136

Anti-RON Antibody was produced in rabbits by repeated immunizations with a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues surrounding Y1360 of human RON protein.

Anti-RON was prepared from monospecific antiserum by immunoaffinity chromatography using phospho peptide coupled to agarose beads followed by solid phase adsorptions against non-phospho peptide and non-specific peptide to remove any unwanted reactivities. Assay by immunoelectrophoresis resulted in a single precipitin arc against anti-Rabbit Serum. This antibody is specific for human RON. Cross-reactivity against RON from other species may occur but has not yet been tested.

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.

Anti-RON Antibody has been tested for use in ELISA and by western blot. Specific conditions for reactivity should be optimized by the end user. Expect a predominant band at ~ 152.3 kDa corresponding to full length protein by western blotting in the appropriate cell lysate or extract.
