Cat.No. CSI 005-22

Subclass IgG1/k
Presentation:

Preparation: Protein-A/G purified
Content: Available in 200 µL and 1 mL

Solvent: 0.01 M phosphate buffer, pH 7.4, with 0.5 M NaCl and 15 mM sodium azide
Storage: In the dark at 4-8ºC

Antigen:

Fibronectin is an adhesive glycoprotein with a molecular mass of 440 kDa. It is believed to be important for the formation of a provisional matrix that promotes cell adhesion and migration during wound healing. Its age-dependent increase in plasma and tissues may be accompanied in pathological states, especially in tumor growth, by its proteolytic breakdown by a number of neutral proteases. It has also shown that several of its proteolytic breakdown products exhibit unexpected and mostly harmful biological activities (1).

Immunogen:

Bovine corneal endothelial cells on beads

Specificity:

CSI 005-22 is highly specific for bovine fibronectin. There is no evidence for cross-reactivity with other connective tissue proteins (vitronectin, elastin, collagen, laminin).
CSI 005-22 does not react with human fibronectin. Other species have not been tested.

Epitope specificity:

Not determined

Reactivity:

CSI 005-22 can be used in ELISA, Western blotting, immunoprecipitation and immunostaining of frozen PLP-fixed sections of bovine tissues.
