| Antibody Properties | Reconstitute with of H20. Mix gently, wash the sides of the vial and wait 30-60 seconds before use. |
| Available Conjugates | Cytotoxic and staining antibody. For staining, use 10ml/1,000,000 cells. Titer for cytotoxicity should be determined by the investigator. |
| Biological Activity | The ED50 for this effect is 510ug/ml. Measured by its ability to agglutinate human red blood cells corresponding to a specific activity of 100-200IU/mg. |
| Description | LGALS8 Human Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated, polypeptide chain containing 337 amino acids (1-317 a.a.) and having a molecular mass of 37.9 kDa. The LGALS8 is fused to a 20 amino acid His-Tag at N-terminus and purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques. |
| Expression host | Escherichia Coli. |
| Formulation | The Galectin-8 His tag 0.5mg/ml protein solution contains 20mM Tris-HCl pH-8, 0.1M NaCl, 10% glycerol & 1mM DTT. |
| Immunological function | This antibody is also available as unconjugated antibody and conjugated to FITC. |
| Physical Appearence | Sterile Filtered colorless solution. |
| Product Description | Recognizes most mouse H-2K haplotypes (k,p,q,r,s). Does NOT react with H-2kd. |
| Protein Background | LGALS8 is a prostate-specific antigen that is solely overexpressed in malignant tumors and thus is a supplementary specific identifier of malignancies. LGALS8 is part of the galectin gene family which facilitates both cell-cell and cell matrix interactions in a method parallel to the selectin subgroup of C-type lectins. |
| Purity | Greater than 90.0% as determined by SDS-PAGE. |
| Reconstitution | 1mg/ml in PBS (after reconstitution). |
| Stability | Store at 4°C if entire vial will be used within 2-4 weeks. Store, frozen at -20°C for longer periods of time. For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA).Avoid multiple freeze-thaw cycles. |
| Synonyms | Gal-8, PCTA1, Po66-CBP, Prostate carcinoma tumor antigen 1. |
