Antigen Species: Drosophila
Depositor: Goodman, C.
Isotype: MIgG2a
Antigen Sequence:
Host Species: mouse
Depositors Institution: University of California, Berkeley
Positive Tested Species Reactivity: Drosophila
Depositors Notes: Drosophila neurotactin, a surface glycoprotein with homology to serine esterases, is dynamically expressed during embryogenesis. The antibody stains restricted regions during the blastoderm stage and intensely stains cells at the ventral furrow. Expression expands to include almost all cells by the end of gastrulation, but later becomes restricted to, and very strongly expressed in, the developing nervous system. It is especially useful for looking at the pattern of neuroblasts. The antibody cannot be used to stain dissections without detergent. The antibody works well on Westerns, but not well for immunoprecipitations or affinity purifications. The corresponding gene has been isolated by expression cloning.

Storage and Handling Recommendations
Although many cell products are maintained at 4°C for years without loss of activity, shelf-life at 4°C is highly variable. For immediate use, short term storage at 4°C up to two weeks is recommended. For long term storage, divide the solution into volumes of no less than 20 ul for freezing at -20°C or -80°C. The small volume aliquot should provide sufficient reagent for short term use. Freeze-thaw cycles should be avoided. For concentrate or bioreactor products, an equal volume of glycerol, a cryoprotectant, may be added prior to freezing.
Usage Recommendations
Although the optimal Ig concentration for an application varies for each product and must be optimized for each laboratory, a good starting concentration for immunohistochemistry (IHC), immunofluorescence (IF), and immunocytochemistry (ICC) is 2-5 ug/ml. For western blots, the recommended concentration range is 0.2-0.5 ug/ml.
