Clone:146807
Isotype:Mouse IgG1
Pkg. Size:500 µg, 1 mg
Storage:-20°C to -70°C Detailed storage instructions below.
Description
Specificity:
Mouse Anti-Human Activin B (Clone 146807) recognizes an epitope on Human Activin B. This monoclonal antibody was purified using multi-step affinity chromatography methods such as Protein A or G depending on the species and isotype.

Known Species Cross Reactivity: Hu+
Host Species
Mouse
Immunogen
Purified Recombinant Human Activin B (>98%)
Formulation
This monoclonal antibody has been 0.2 µm filtered and lyophilized from modified Dulbecco's phosphate buffered saline (1X PBS) pH 7.2 - 7.3 containing 5.0% w/v trehalose with no calcium, magnesium or preservatives present.
Reconstitution
This lyophilized antibody may be aseptically reconstituted with sterile to a final volume of 1 ml. This will result in a final antibody concentration of 500 µg/ml.
Endotoxin
<0.1 EU/µg as determined by the LAL method
Storage and Stability
The lyophilized antibody can be stored desiccated at -20°C to -70°C for up to twelve months. The reconstituted antibody can be stored for at least four weeks at 2-8°C. For long-term storage of the reconstituted antibody, aseptically aliquot into working volumes and store at -20°C to -70°C in a manual defrost freezer. Avoid repeated freeze thaw cycles. No detectable loss of activity was observed after six months.
Reported Applications
Indirect ELISA, N, WB
Indirect ELISA: This antibody can be used in an indirect detection ELISA at 0.5-1.0 µg/ml with a suitable second step reagent such as Goat Anti-Mouse IgG (H&L)-Horseradish Peroxidase (Leinco Prod. No.: M114). The detection sensitivity of this indirect ELISA for Human Activin B is approximately 0.1 ng/well.
Neutralization: This antibody is useful for neutralization of Human Activin B bioactivity. The antibody dose required to neutralize 50% (ND50) of the biological activity of Human Activin B (at 7.5 ng/ml) is 0.6-3 µg/ml.
Western Blotting: To detect Human Activin B this monoclonal antibody can be used at a concentration of 1-2 µg/ml. This monoclonal antibody should be used in conjunction with compatible second-step reagents such as Goat Anti-Mouse IgG (H&L)-Horseradish Peroxidase (Leinco Prod. No.: M114) and a chromogenic substrate such as TMB HRPO Membrane/IHC Substrate UltraSensitive™ One Component "Ready Use" (Leinco Prod. No.: T343). The detection limit for Human Activin B is 0.5 and 1 ng/lane under either reducing or non-reducing conditions. The sensitivity of detection may increase up to 50 fold when a chemiluminescent substrate is used. A suitable Western blotting control is Recombinant Human Activin B (Leinco Prod. No.: A111).
Each investigator should determine their own optimal working dilution for specific applications.
