Gdf15 Antibody

Rabbit anti-Nag1 Antibody, NAG-1, GDF15, MIC-1, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug-activated gene, NSAID-activated gene 1 protein, growth differentiation factor 15, macrophage inhibitory compound 1, prostate-derived factor

This affinity purified antibody was prepared by repeated immunizations with a peptide corresponding to an amino acid sequence near the C-terminal of mouse NAG-1 protein.

This product was affinity purified from monospecific antiserum by immunoaffinity chromatography. This antibody reacts with endogenous NAG-1 protein from mouse and human tissues. A BLAST analysis suggests reactivity with NAG-1 from rat based on 100% homology. Partial reactivity is expected against swine, bovine and dog based on 92% homology. Cross-reactivity with NAG-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 NAG-1 antibody has been tested by ELISA and western blotting of mouse and human NAG-1 protein. For detection of NAG-1 in mouse serum, a sandwich ELISA is suggested using this antibody in combination with anti-NAG-1/GDF15 (N-terminal) specific antibodies. Specific conditions for reactivity should be optimized by the end user. Expect bands in Western blots of approximately 14 and 28 kDa in size corresponding to NAG-1 monomer and dimer, respectively, using the appropriate cell lysate or extract.
