Additional Information: *Cell lines will be distributed only with written consent from the director of the Institute of Oral Biology, University of Zuerich, Zuerich, Switzerland. Contact the DSHB for details (dshb@uiowa.edu). Immunization took the intraperitoneal route and used AlK(SO4) precipitate of approximately 100 ml culture supernatant amount in 1986. THe adjuvant of the antibody during immunization was 50% incomplete Freund's adjuvant (1st immunization), none (2nd immunization).
Recommended Applications: ELISA, Immunofluorescence, Western Blot

Storage and Handling Recommendations
Usage Recommendations
Although many cell products are maintained at 4°C for years without loss of activity, shelf-life at 4°C is highly variable.
To ensure retention of antibody activity, we recommend aliquotting the product into two parts:
1) a volume of antibody stored at 4°C to be used within two weeks.
2) the remaining product diluted with an equal volume of molecular grade glycerol and stored at -20°C.
While optimal Ig concentration for an application will vary, a good starting concentration for immunohistochemistry (IHC),
immunofluorescence(IF) and staining is 2-5 µg/ml.
For Western blots, the concentration is decreased by one order of magnitude (that is, 0.2-0.5 µg/ml).
All cell products contain the antimicrobial ProClin. See our FAQ section for additional information.
