This antiserum was produced against canine cardiac sarcolemmal Na+
-Ca2+ exchanger
(NCX1; full length isolated protein). The specific epitope was never mapped, but is likely to
be primarily on the large intracellular loop. Brain, smooth muscle and kidney Na+
-Ca2+
exchanger are also recognized by the antiserum. The antiserum cross reacts with the
proteins of mouse, rat, rabbit, frog, toad, guinea pig, cow and human. It does not react with
NCX2 or NCX3. The antiserum can be used for immunoblots, immunoprecipitation and
immunohistochemistry.
稀釋
Immunohistochemistry; 1:5’000 - 1: 10’000 with the avidin-biotin method
Immunoblots: 1:100 – 1: 1’000 (use milk for blocking). Primary bands at 120 kDa (full
length protein), 160 kDA (some non-reduced protein even in the presence of DDT) and
70 kDa (active proteolytic fragment).
We recommend that the optimal dilutions be determined by titration experiments.
儲(chǔ)存
For long storage, keep at - 80°C (or at least - 20°C). For continuous use keep at 4°C
(with 0.01% Na-azide). Avoid repeated freezing and thawing.
