Recommended Dilution:
ELISA: 1:2000
Western Blot: 0.1-0.3ug/ml
Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.
Positve Control:
Human Liver lysates. ~60kDa
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 glycerol (40-50%), aliquot and store at -20 degrees C. Aliquots are stable for at least 3 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.
