Galectin-14, also known as placental protein 13-like (PPL13), belongs the galectin family of carbohydrate binding proteins. It is expressed intracellularly in placenta and eosinophils and is released by eosinophils following allergen stimulation. Galectin-14 may be involved in the development of allergic inflammation.
Applications:
Suitable for use in Western Blot. Other applications not tested.
Recommended Dilution:
Western Blot: 2ug/ml with the appropriate secondary reagents to detect human Galectin-14 in cell or tissue extracts under non-reducing conditions only. Lysates were prepared from primary human eosinophils in non-reducing sample buffer, resolved by SDS-PAGE 10ug total protein/lane), and transferred to an Blotting Buffer Blocking Solution Antibody Solution 25mM Tris, pH 7.4 5% nonfat dry milk 5% nonfat dry milk 0.15M NaCl in Blotting Buffer in Blotting Buffer 0.05% Tween 20.
Direct ELISA: 0.5-1ug/ml with the appropriate secondary reagents to detect human Galectin-14. The detection limit for rhGalectin-14 is approximately 3ng/well.
Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.
Storage and Stability:
Lyophilized powder may be stored at -20 degrees C. Stable for 12 months at -20 degrees C. Reconstitute by adding sterile 40-50% glycerol, aliquot and store 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.
