Biolegend, 532304, Biotin anti-mouse NGAL (Lipocalin-2) Antibody, 100μg

NGAL (lipocalin-2) is a lipocalin family protein that plays important roles in innate immunity, inflammation, and atherosclerosis. Mouse NGAL is detected in lung, spleen, uterus, vagina, and epididymis. It is a critical component of innate immunity because of its ability to bind iron-siderophore complexes and limit bacterial growth. It is also produced by injured epithelia and is one of the most promising new markers for renal epithelial injury and cardiovascular disease (CVD).
100μg
Verified Reactivity: Mouse
Antibody Type: Monoclonal
Host Species: Rat
Immunogen: In-house recombinant mouse NGAL
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 - Quality tested
Recommended Usage: Each lot of this antibody is quality control tested by ELISA. For ELISA detection applications, a concentration of 0.1 µg/mL is recommended. To obtain a linear standard curve, serial dilutions of NGAL recombinant protein ranging from 1000 to 15.6 pg/mL is recommended for each ELISA plate. It is recommended that the reagent be titrated for optimal performance.
Application Notes: The biotinylated M0417A8 antibody is useful as a detection antibody for a sandwich ELISA assay, when used in conjunction with purified M047A10 (Cat. No. 532202) antibody as the capture antibody. Note: For testing mouse NGAL in cell culture supernatant, serum, plasma, urine and other biological fluids, BioLegend's LEGEND MAX™ Kits (Cat. No. 443707 & 443708) are specially developed and recommended.

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.
