This antibody detects aggrecan metabolites (intact or matrix protease-catabolised) in human synovial fluid samples.
Applications:
Suitable for use in ELISA, Western Blot and Immunohistochemistry. Other applications not tested.
Recommended Dilution:
Western Blot: 1:100.
Immunohistochemistry: Formalin or paraformaldehyde-fixed paraffin-embedded, alcohol-fixed frozen or un-fixed snap-frozen sections.
Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.
Storage and Stability:
May be stored at 4 degrees C for short-term only. For long-term storage and to avoid repeated freezing and thawing, add sterile 40-50% glycerol, aliquot and store at -20 degrees C. Aliquots are stable for at least 12 months at -20 degrees C. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer.
