GLI2 Antibody

This affinity purified antibody was prepared from whole rabbit serum produced by repeated immunizations with a synthetic peptide corresponding to an internal region near amino acids 30-65 of human Gli-2 (isoform a) .

This affinity-purified antibody is directed against human Gli-2 protein. The product was affinity purified from monospecific antiserum by immunoaffinity purification. A BLAST analysis was used to suggest cross reactivity with Gli-2 from human and chimpanzee based on the immunizing sequence.

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 antibody has been tested for use in ELISA, immunohistochemistry and western blot. Specific conditions for reactivity should be optimized by the end user. See figure legend for expectations by western blot. Multiple splice variants have been reported for this protein a, b, g and d (133.3, 131.6, 88.1 and 86.4 kDa respectively) . Detection of Gli-2 by western blot may be enhanced if nuclear extracts are used instead of whole cell lysates as the expression/abundance of Gli-2 is likely to be low. Furthermore, Gli-2 expression is likely to be developmentally regulated and induced, making it difficult to detect in whole tissue homogenates.
