PRKCB Antibody

This affinity purified antibody was prepared from whole rabbit serum produced by repeated immunizations with a synthetic peptide corresponding to an internal region of human Protein kinase C beta.

This product was affinity purified from monospecific antiserum by immunoaffinity chromatography. This antibody is specific for human PKC beta protein. A BLAST analysis was used to suggest cross-reactivity with PKC beta from human and monkey sources based on a 100% homology with the immunizing sequence. Expect partial cross reactivity to PKC beta from rabbit and bovine (93% homology) and rat and mouse (87% homology) sources. Cross-reactivity with PKC beta from other sources 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.

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 76 kDa in size corresponding to PKC beta by western blotting in the appropriate cell lysate or extract. Lysates from U251or BxPC3 cells are suggested for western blotting.
