Polyclonal Antibody
Share |


Prod. No.:B426
Host:Goat
Pkg. Size:100 µg, 1 mg
Storage:-20°C to -70°C Detailed storage instructions below.
Description
Specificity:
Goat Anti-Human β-Defensin-3 recognizes Human β-Defensin-3. 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.

Antigen Distribution:
β-defensins are expressed on some leukocytes and at epithelial surfaces.

Background:
β-Defensin 3, also known as BD3 and DEFB-3, is a membrane-active cationic peptide that functions in inflammation and innate immune responses. There are at least 30 beta-Defensins which are distinguished from alpha-Defensins by the connectivity pattern of their three intramolecular disulfide bonds.

Known Species Cross Reactivity: Hu+
Immunogen
Purified Recombinant Human β-Defensin-3 (>98%)
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 0.5 ml of sterile 1X PBS pH 7.2-7.3. This will result in a final antibody concentration of 0.2 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, 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 β-Defensin-3 is approximately 2 ng/well.
Western Blotting: To detect Human β-Defensin-3 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 β-Defensin-3 is 1and5 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 PN:626.
Each investigator should determine their own optimal working dilution for specific applications.
