Biolegend, 512504, Biotin anti-mouse IL-1α Antibody, 500μg

IL-1 refers to two proteins, IL-1α and IL-1β which are the products of distinct genes, but which are recognized by the same cell surface receptors. IL-1α is a potent immuno-modulator which mediates a wide range of immune and inflammatory responses.
500μg
Verified Reactivity: Mouse
Antibody Type: Monoclonal
Host Species: Rat
Immunogen: E. coli - expressed, recombinant mouse IL-1α
Formulation: Phosphate-buffered solution, pH 7.2, containing 0.09% sodium azide.
Preparation: The antibody was purified by affinity chromatography, and conjugated with biotin under optimal conditions.
Concentration: 0.5 mg/ml
Storage & Handling: The antibody solution should be stored undiluted between 2°C and 8°C. Do not freeze.
Application: ELISA Detection, ELISPOT Detection - Quality testedWB, IP - Reported in the literature, not verified in house
Recommended Usage: Each lot of this antibody is quality control tested by ELISA assay. For use as an ELISA detection antibody, a concentration range of 0.05 - 0.2 µg/ml is recommended. To obtain a linear standard curve, serial dilutions of mouse IL-1α recobinant protein ranging from 250 to 4 pg/ml are recommended for each ELISA plate. For Western Blotting applications, it is suggested to use 5 µg antibody per 5 ml antibody dilution buffer for each mini-gel. It is recommended that the reagent be titrated for optimal performance for each application.
Application Notes: ELISA Detection: The biotinylated BL1a-89 antibody is useful as a detection antibody for a sandwich ELISA when used in conjunction with purified BL1a-72 antibody (Cat. No. 512402) or purified ALF-161 antibody (Cat. Nos. 503202 & 503206) as the capture antibody and recombinant mouse IL-1a (Cat. No. 580309) as the standard.

Q: How many biotin molecules are per antibody structure?
A: We don't routinely measure the number of biotins with our antibody products but the number of biotin molecules range from 3-6 molecules per antibody.
