Applications: The antibody is useful for staining of E-selectin expressing endothelial cells. It permits staining of in vitro cultured cells as well as frozen sections. The antibody can also be used for staining of chimpanzee, rhesus monkey, cynomolgous monkey and baboon endothelial cells expressing E-selectin. Furthermore the antibody can be used for Immunoprecipitation and immunoassays. Recommended Dilution: Immunohistochemistry: 1:10. In vitro cultured cells can be fixed with 1% paraformaldehyde and kept in PBS plus azide before staining. Tissue sections are advised to be fixed for 10 min in pure acetone and followed by incubation for 10 min in chloroform. Incubation with a pretested dilution of the antibody is advised to be followed by a biotin conjugated anti-murine Ig and a further incubation with an enzyme (alkaline phosphatase) conjugated streptavidin. For selection of the most useful dilution in a given situation a test staining with cells or tissue known to express the antigen should be performed. To this end either cultured endothelial cells or a small fresh skin biopsy can be incubated for 4 hours with TNF-a (1ng/ml), IL-1 (100U/ml) or LPS (1ug/ml) in tissue culture medium at 37°C. As negative control it is advised to use a control murine IgG1 antibody. Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher. Storage and Stability: May be stored at 4C for short-term only.
