ABCB8 Antibody

ABCB8 was prepared from whole rabbit serum produced by repeated immunizations with a synthetic peptide corresponding to a internal portion of human ABCB8.

Anti-ABCB8 Antibody was prepared from monospecific, delipidated and defibrinated antiserum, with addition of sodium azide to 0.01%. A BLAST analysis was used to suggest cross-reactivity with ABCB8 from human, mouse, and rat based on a 100% homology with the immunizing sequence. Reactivity against homologues from other sources is not known. The antibody detects ABCB8 in cell lysates.

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.

Anti-ABCB8 antibody has been tested by ELISA and western blotting. Specific conditions for reactivity should be optimized by the end user. Expect band approximately 79.9 kDa in size corresponding to ABCB8 by western blotting in the appropriate cell lysate or extract. This antibody is suitable for use in ELISA.
