CST, 83308SF, TMEM119 (E3E4T) Mouse Monoclonal Antibody (BSA and Azide Free)

Monoclonal Antibody for studying TMEM119. Validated for Immunohistochemistry (Paraffin). Highly specific and rigorously validated in-house, TMEM119 (E3E4T) Mouse Monoclonal Antibody (BSA and Azide Free) (CST #83308) is ready to ship. Product Usage Information This product is the carrier-free version of product # 41134. 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 # 41134 . 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 TMEM119 (E3E4T) Mouse Monoclonal Antibody (BSA and Azide Free) recognizes endogenous levels of total TMEM119 protein. Species Reactivity: Human Source / Purification Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues near the amino terminus of human TMEM119 protein. Background Transmembrane protein 119 (TMEM119) is a cell-surface protein of unknown function, expressed exclusively by the microglia subset of myeloid and neural cells (1). Iba1+ microglia with both ramified and amoeboid morphologies express TMEM119, while Iba1+ macrophages are TMEM119 negative (2). and other homeostatic genes have been shown to be downregulated in disease-associated microglia (DAM). DAM are conserved in human and mouse and have been identified in Alzheimer's disease (AD), amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and 5XFAD and APP/PS1 mouse models (3,4). This protein's specificity as a microglia marker has proven itself important for labeling microglia in healthy tissue as well as deciphering them from infiltrating macrophages and other cell types in neurodegenerative disease models (1,2).
