TDGF1 Antibody

Rabbit anti-Cripto 1 antibody, rabbit anti-Cripto-1 antibody, Cripto 1 growth factor antibody, Epidermal growth factor like cripto protein CR1 antibody, TDGF 1 antibody, Teratocarcinoma-derived growth factor 1, CRGF, TDGF1

This affinity purified antibody was prepared from whole rabbit serum produced by repeated immunizations with a synthetic peptide corresponding to an internal sequence of human Cripto-1 protein.

This product was affinity purified from monospecific antiserum by immunoaffinity chromatography. This antibody is specific for human Cripto-1 protein. A BLAST analysis was used to suggest limited cross-reactivity with Cripto-1 from mouse based on a 70% homology with the immunizing sequence. Expect cross-reactivity with human Cripto-3 (TDGF2) based on very high levels of sequence conservation. Cross-reactivity with Cripto-1 from other sources has not been determined.

Store vial at -20° C prior to opening. Aliquot contents and freeze at -20° C or below for extended storage. Avoid cycles of freezing and thawing. Centrifuge product if not completely clear after standing at room temperature. This product is stable for several weeks at 4° C as an undiluted liquid. Dilute only prior to immediate use.

This affinity purified antibody has been tested for use in ELISA and western blotting. Specific conditions for reactivity should be optimized by the end user. Expect a band approximately 21 kDa in size corresponding to Cripto-1 by western blotting in the appropriate cell lysate or extract. Cripto-1 is reported as a 188 amino acid protein with a molecular weight of 21.1 kDa.
