CST, 18923SF, Neutrophil Elastase (E8U3X) Rabbit Monoclonal Antibody (BSA and Azide Free)

Monoclonal Antibody for studying neutrophil elastase mouse. Validated for Western Blotting,IHC Leica Bond,Immunohistochemistry (Paraffin). Highly specific and rigorously validated in-house, Neutrophil Elastase (E8U3X) Rabbit Monoclonal Antibody (BSA and Azide Free) (CST #18923) is ready to ship. Product Usage Information This product is the carrier free version of product #90120. All data were generated using the same antibody clone in the standard formulation which contains BSA and glycerol. This formulation is ideal for use with technologies requiring specialized or custom antibody labeling, including fluorophores, metals, lanthanides, and oligonucleotides. It is not recommended for ChIP, ChIP-seq, CUT&RUN or CUT&Tag assays. If you require a carrier free formulation for chromatin profiling, please contact us . Optimal dilutions/concentrations should be determined by the end user. BSA and Azide Free antibodies are quality control tested by size exclusion chromatography (SEC) to determine antibody integrity. Formulation Supplied in 1X PBS (10 mM Na 2 HPO 4 , 3 mM KCl, 2 mM KH 2 PO 4 , and 140 mM NaCl (pH 7.8)). BSA and Azide Free. For standard formulation of this product see product # 90120 . Storage Store at -20°C. This product will freeze at -20°C so it is recommended to aliquot into single-use vials to avoid multiple freeze/thaw cycles. A slight precipitate may be present and can be dissolved by gently vortexing. This will not interfere with antibody performance. Specificity / Sensitivity Neutrophil Elastase (E8U3X) Rabbit Monoclonal Antibody (BSA and Azide Free) recognizes endogenous levels of total neutrophil elastase protein. This antibody does not cross-react with human neutrophil elastase protein. Non-specific staining was observed in the vas deferens by immunohistochemistry. Species Reactivity: Mouse Source / Purification Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with full-length recombinant protein specific to mouse neutrophil elastase protein. Background Neutrophil elastase is a hematopoietic serine protease that belongs to the chymotrypsin superfamily and plays a critical role in the innate immune function of mature neutrophils and monocytes (1,2). Neutrophil elastase is actively synthesized as an inactive zymogen in myelocytic precursor cells of the bone marrow, which then undergoes activation by limited proteolysis and sorting to primary (azurophil) storage granules of mature neutrophil granulocytes for regulated release (3,4). Research studies have shown that neutrophils play a significant role in mediating the inflammatory response through the release of neutrophil elastase, which activates pro-inflammatory cytokines and degrades components of the extracellular matrix and Gram-negative bacteria (5). Mutations in the gene encoding neutrophil elastase, , have been implicated in hematological diseases such as cyclic and severe congenital neutropenia, which is characterized by defects in promyelocyte maturation (6,7).
