Depositors Institution: Johns Hopkins School of Medicine
Positive Tested Species Reactivity: Human, Mouse, Rat, Vertebrates
Depositors Notes: GD1a-2b recognizes all vertebrate species. Paraformaldehyde fixation works well for immnostaining; avoid most detergents and organic solvents.
Additional Information: Gangliosides are glycosphingolipids with one or more sialic acids. GD1a-2b cross-react with GT1aalpha [PMIDs: 11878808 12390975]. Western blot references include references for TLC immunooverlay.
Recommended Applications: ELISA, Immunofluorescence, Immunohistochemistry, 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.
