Description
Specificity:
Rabbit Anti-Human Artemin recognizes Human Artemin. This antigen affinity purified polyclonal antibody was purified using a proprietary chromatographic technique that includes covalently immobilizing the antigen proteins or peptides to agarose based beads. This purification method enhances specificity, reduces nonspecific binding of extraneous IgG and provides you with the most reliable reagent available for your early discovery research.

Background:
Artemin is a disulfide-linked homodimeric neurotrophic factor structurally related to GDNF, Neurturin and Persephin. These proteins belong to the cysteine-knot superfamily of growth factors that assume stable dimeric protein structures. Artemin, GDNF, Persephin and Neurturin all signal through a multicomponent receptor system, composed of RET (receptor tyrosine kinase) and one of the four GFRalpha (alpha1-alpha4) receptors. Artemin prefers the receptor GFRalpha3-RET, but will use other receptors as an alternative. Artemin supports the survival of all peripheral ganglia such as sympathetic, neural crest and placodally derived sensory neurons, and dompaminergic midbrain neurons. The functional human Artemin ligand is a disulfide-linked homodimer, of two polypeptide monomers. Each monomer contains seven conserved cysteine residues, one of which is used for interchain disulfide bridging and the others are involved in intramolecular ring formation known as the cysteine knot configuration. In the mature region, human ARTN is 89% and 88% aa identical to rat and mouse ARTN, respectively.

It has been reported that Artemin reverses neuropathic pain due to nerve injury, helps resolve morphological changes associated with nerve damage.

Known Species Cross Reactivity: Hu+
Immunogen
E. coli-Derived Recombinant Human Artemin
Formulation
This antigen affinity purified polyclonal 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
We suggest aseptically reconstituting this lyophilized, antigen affinity purified polyclonal antibody with 1 µl of sterile 1X PBS pH 7.2-7.3. This will result in a final antibody concentration of 0.1 mg/ml.
Endotoxin
<0.1 EU/µg as determined by the LAL method
Storage and Stability
The lyophilized antigen affinity purified polyclonal antibody can be stored desiccated at -20°C to -70°C for twelve months from date of receipt. 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 Donkey Anti-Goat IgG (H&L)-Horseradish Peroxidase (Leinco Prod. No.: G505). The detection sensitivity of this indirect ELISA for Human Artemin is approximately 0.07 ng/well.
IHC (NBF/Par.): This antibody should give satisfactory staining results when used at a concentration of µg/ml. The recommended secondary antibody for IHC is Donkey Anti-Goat IgG (H&L)-Horseradish Peroxidase (Leinco Prod. No.: G505). 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 Artemin this polyclonal antibody can be used at a concentration of 0.1 - 0.2 µg/ml. This polyclonal antibody should be used in conjunction with compatible second-step reagents such as Donkey Anti-Goat IgG (H&L)-Horseradish Peroxidase (Leinco Prod. No.: G505) 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 Artemin is 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.
Each investigator should determine their own optimal working dilution for specific applications.
