Description
Specificity:
Mouse Anti-Human Decorin (Clone 115402) recognizes an epitope on Human Decorin. This monoclonal antibody was purified using multi-step affinity chromatography methods such as Protein A or G depending on the species and isotype.

Background:
Decorin is a small cellular or pericellular matrix proteoglycan that belongs to the small leucine-rich proteoglycan (SLRP) family and consists of a protein core containing leucine repeats with a glycosaminoglycan chain consisting of either chondroitin sulfate or dermatan sulfate. It is known for its ability to bind, via its core protein, to interstitial collagens.
Decorin has been shown to have anti-tumorigenic properties in an experimental murine tumor model and is capable of suppressing the growth of various tumor cell lines. It is also shown as a powerful and effective therapeutic agent against breast cancer due to its inhibition of both primary tumor growth and metastatic spreading.

Known Species Cross Reactivity: Ms-, Hu+

Immunogen
Purified Recombinant Human Decorin >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 PBS to a final volume of 1 ml. This will result in a final antibody concentration of 500 µg/ml.
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, IHC (NBF/Par.), 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 Decorin is approximately 2.5 ng/well.
IHC (NBF/Par.): This antibody should give satisfactory staining results when used at a concentration of 25 µg/ml. The recommended secondary antibody for IHC is Goat Anti-Mouse IgG (H&L)-Horseradish Peroxidase (Leinco Prod. No.: M114). For chromogenic detection with high signal and low background use 3, 3'-Diaminobenzidine Tetrahydrochloride (DAB) Substrate Kit (Leinco Prod. No.: D100) or Optional Metal Enhanced DAB Substrate Kit (Leinco Prod. No.: K107).
Western Blotting: To detect Human Decorin 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 Decorin is 0.5 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 Decorin (Leinco Prod. No.: D333).
Each investigator should determine their own optimal working dilution for specific applications.
