Dystrophin Antibody (1808) Summary

• Immunogen: Acetylcholine receptor (AChR) enriched membranes and peripheral membrane proteins from Torpedo nobiliana electric organ.
• Localization: Cell Membrane
• Specificity: This reacts with a protein of 427 kD. This is highly specific to dystrophin and shows no cross-reaction with C-protein, a-actin, and human muscle spectrin. Dystrophin is a member of the spectrin/alpha actinin family of actin-binding protein.
• Isotype: IgG1
• Clonality: Monoclonal
• Host: Mouse
• Gene: DMD
• Purity: Protein G purified

Applications/Dilutions

• Dilutions:
  • Immunohistochemistry 1:10-1:500
  • Immunohistochemistry-Paraffin 1:10-1:500
• Application Notes: Electron Microscopy. Immunohistochemistry (formalin fixed paraffin embedded): use for 30 min at RT. Staining of formalin-fixed tissues requires boiling tissue sections in 1mM EDTA, pH 8.0, for 10 - 20 min followed by cooling at RT for 20 min. Note that 1mM EDTA, pH 8.0 is better than 10mM citrate buffer, pH 6.0 for unmasking the epitope.

Reactivity Notes

Cross-reacts with Human, Chicken, Mouse, Rat, Xenopus laevis and Torpedo ray. Not yet tested in other species. Please note that this antibody is reactive to Mouse and derived from the same host, Mouse. Additional Mouse on Mouse blocking steps may be required for IHC and ICC experiments. Please contact Technical Support for more information.

Background

Dystrophin is a member of the spectrin/alpha-actinin family of actin-binding, triple helix rod-containing proteins. It is absent or greatly reduced in individuals with the X-linked recessive Duchenne's muscular dystrophy disorder, as well as in mice with the mdx (murine muscular dystrophy) mutation.

Limitations

This product is for research use only and is not approved for use in humans or in clinical diagnosis. Primary Antibodies are guaranteed for 1 year from date of receipt.
