CTGF/CCN2 Overexpression Lysate Summary

• Description:

  CTGF/CCN2 Transient Overexpression Lysate

  
  Expression Host: HEK293T
  
  Plasmid: RC210336
  
  Accession#: NM_001901
  
  Protein Tag: C-MYC/DDK
  
  You will receive 1 vial of lysate (100ug), 1 vial of empty vector negative control (100ug), and 1 vial of 2xSDS sample buffer (250ul). Each vial of cell lysate contains 100ug of total protein (at 1 mg/ml). The 2xSDS Sample Buffer consists of 4% SDS, 125mM Tris-HCl pH6.8, 10% Glycerol, 0.002% Bromophenol blue, 100mM DTT.
• Gene: CCN2

Applications/Dilutions

• Dilutions:
  • Western Blot
• Application Notes: This product is intended for use as a positive control in Western Blot. Overexpression of the target protein was confirmed using an antibody to DDK (FLAG) epitope tag (NBP1-71705) present on the protein construct.
  
  Each vial of cell lysate contains 100ug of total protein which should be sufficient for 20-50 reactions. Depending on over-expression level, antibody affinity and detection system, some lysates can go as low as 0.1 ug per load. We recommend starting with 5ug of cell lysate. Add an equal amount of cell lysate and 2X SDS Sample buffer and boil the SDS samples for 10 minutes before loading.
• Theoretical MW: 37.9 kDa.
  Disclaimer note: The observed molecular weight of the protein may vary from the listed predicted molecular weight due to post translational modifications, post translation cleavages, relative charges, and other experimental factors.

Packaging, Storage & Formulations

• Storage: Store at -80C. Avoid freeze-thaw cycles.
• Buffer: RIPA buffer

Lysate Details for Array

• Type: Overexpression

Notes

HEK293T cells in 10-cm dishes were transiently transfected with a non-lipid polymer transfection reagent specially designed and manufactured for large volume DNA transfection. Transfected cells were cultured for 48hrs before collection. The cells were lysed in modified RIPA buffer (25mM Tris-HCl pH7.6, 150mM NaCl, 1% NP-40, 1mM EDTA, 1xProteinase inhibitor cocktail mix, 1mM PMSF and 1mM Na3VO4, and then centrifuged to clarify the lysate. Protein concentration was measured by BCA protein assay kit.

Background

Connective Tissue Growth Factor (CTGF) is a 38kDa, cysteine-rich, secreted peptide. CTGF promotes endothelial cell growth, migration, adhesion and survival. and is thus implicated in endothelial cell function and angiogenesis. CTGF is implicated in are embryogenesis, wound healing and regulation of extracellular matrix production, and is required for normal skeletal growth.

CTGF antibodies are useful tools for angiogenesis and cell structure research, and for studies on certian types of cancer.

Limitations

This product is for research use only and is not approved for use in humans or in clinical diagnosis. Lysates are guaranteed for 6 months from date of receipt.

FAQs for CTGF/CCN2 Lysate (NBL1-09572). (Showing 1 - 1 of 1 FAQ).

1. We are looking for a pair of mouse CTGF antibody for ELISA, we prefer no azide and/or glycerol, and in carrier free form (no EDTA, no Tris, no BSA). For the validation, we need approximately 100ug. If it works, we'll order more later.
   • Unfortunately we do not carry any CTGF antibodies that suit your specifications. We do carry AbSelect antibody purification kits that will remove BSA, Tris and azide from antibody formulations which may be an option for you.
