Antibody DetailsProduct DetailsReactive Species Human Host Species Goat Immunogen Sf 21-Derived Recombinant Human Osteoprotegerin Endotoxin Level <0.1 EU/µg as determined by the LAL method 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. State of Matter Lyophilized Storage and Handling 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. Country of Origin USA Shipping Next Day Ambient RRIDAB_2831488 Applications and Recommended Usage? Quality Tested by Leinco Western Blotting: To detect Human OPG 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 PN:G505 and a chromogenic substrate such as PN:T343. The sensitivity is approximately 5 ng/lane and 25 ng/lane under non-reducing and reducing conditions, respectively. Additional Applications Reported In Literature ? IHC (NBF/Par.): This antibody should give satisfactory staining results when used at a concentration of 15 µg/ml. The recommended secondary antibody for IHC is PN:G505. For chromogenic detection with high signal and low background use PN:D100 or PN:K107. Neutralization: This antibody is useful for neutralization of Human OPG bioactivity. The antibody dose required to neutralize 50% (ND50) of the biological activity of Human OPG (at 0.1 ng/ml) is 0.25 - 0.7 µg/ml. Each investigator should determine their own optimal working dilution for specific applications. See directions on lot specific datasheets, as information may periodically change. DescriptionDescriptionSpecificity Goat Anti-Human Osteoprotegerin (OPG) recognizes Human OPG. 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 Osteoprotegerin (OPG), also known as osteoclastogenesis inhibitory factor (OCIF) is a cytokine, which can inhibit osteoclast differentiation, activity, and survival.1 It is a member of the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) receptor superfamily.2 OPG may provide a pharmacological tool for osteoporotic and erosive bone disorders.3 PubMed NCBI Gene Bank ID UniProt.org References & Citations1.
