Catalog Fields
Antigen: rough Drosophila protein
Hybridoma Cells Available: Yes
Antigen Species: Drosophila
Depositor: Rubin, G.M.
Isotype: MIgG1, kappa light chain
Antigen Sequence:
Host Species: mouse
Depositors Institution: University of California at Berkeley
Positive Tested Species Reactivity: Drosophila
Depositors Notes: The protein rough is present in the nucleus of most or all of the cells in the morphogenetic furrow of the larval eye, and is limited to the R2, R3, R4, and R5 cells in the region posterior to the furrow. Antibody purified by ammonium salt precipitation may be more effective than supernatant. Use PEMP as a fixative.

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.
