Cyclooxygenase catalyzes the first step in the biosynthesis of prostaglandins, thromboxanes, and prostacyclins: the conversion of arachidonic acid to prostaglandin H2. Recent discoveries of the induction of cyclooxygenase biosynthesis by a variety of stimuli such as phorbol esters, lipopolysaccharides, and cytokines led to the hypothesis that the inducible form of cyclooxygenase, COX-2, is responsible for the biosynthesis of prostaglandins under acute inflammatory conditions. COX-2 is a 72 kDa protein which has been cloned from a variety of species including human, mouse, rat, and sheep. Applications: Suitable for use in Flow Cytometry and Immunocytochemistry. Not recommended for Western Blot and Immunohistochemistry. Other applications not tested. Recommended Dilution: Flow Cytometry: Use 1ug antibody per 10e6 cells Immunocytochemistry: 2-5ug/ml Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher. Storage and Stability: May be stored at 4 degrees C for short-term only. Aliquot to avoid repeated freezing and thawing. Store at -20 degrees C. Aliquots are stable for 12 months. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap. FITC conjugates are sensitive to light.
