MPO Antibody

This product is an IgG fraction antibody purified from monospecific antiserum by a multi-step process which includes delipidation, salt fractionation and ion exchange chromatography followed by extensive dialysis against the buffer stated above. Assay by immunoelectrophoresis resulted in a single precipitin arc against anti-rabbit serum, purified and partially purified Myeloperoxidase [Human Leukocytes]. Cross reactivity against Myeloperoxidase from other tissues and species may occur but have not been specifically determined.

Store vial at 4° C prior to restoration. For extended storage aliquot contents and freeze at -20° C or below. 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 antibody is tested by western blotting suitable for ELISA and immunoprecipitation. Although not tested, this antibody is likely functional in immunohistochemistry and other immunological methods. Anti-Human Myeloperoxidase may react with MPO from other sources. Anti-Human Myeloperoxidase detects neutrophilic granulocytes and monocytes in blood and precursors of granulocytes in the bone marrow. This antibody may also detect myeloid leukemias of the bone marrow as well as other sites.

Preservative: 0.01% (w/v) Gentamicin Sulfate. Do NOT add Sodium Azide!. Stabilizer: None; Buffer: 0.02 M Potassium Phosphate, 0.15 M Sodium Chloride, pH 7.2
