CST, 44030S, Neutrophil Elastase Antibody (Rodent Reactive)

Polyclonal Antibody for studying neutrophil elastase mouse. Validated for Western Blotting. Highly specific and rigorously validated in-house, Neutrophil Elastase Antibody (Rodent Reactive) (CST #44030) is ready to ship. Product Usage Information Western Blotting: 1:1000 Storage Supplied in 10 mM sodium HEPES (pH 7.5), 150 mM NaCl, 100 µg/ml BSA and 50% glycerol. Store at -20°C. Do not aliquot the antibody. Protocol Available protocols: Western Blotting Specificity / Sensitivity Neutrophil Elastase Antibody (Rodent Reactive) recognizes endogenous levels of total mouse and rat neutrophil elastase protein. This antibody does not cross-react with endogenously expressed human neutrophil elastase protein. Species Reactivity: Mouse, Rat Source / Purification Polyclonal antibodies are produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues surrounding Val100 of mouse neutrophil elastase protein. Antibodies are purified by protein A and peptide affinity chromatography. 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).
