Affinity purified Anti-PKM2 antibody was prepared from whole rabbit serum produced by repeated immunizations with a synthetic peptide near the internal portion of human PKM2 protein.

Anti-PKM2 is directed against human PKM2 at an internal position. This product is an affinity purified antibody produced by immunoaffinity chromatography using peptide coupled to agarose beads. A BLAST analysis was used to suggest reactivity with this protein in African frog and rat based on 100% homology and rabbit and mouse based on 93.3% homology for the immunogen sequence.

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 western blot. Specific conditions for reactivity should be optimized by the end user. Expect a band 56-58 kDa in size corresponding to PKM2 by western blotting in the appropriate cell lysate or extract.
