Purified bovine ubiquitin conjugated to carrier protein.
Applications: Suitable for use in ELISA, Western Blot, Immunohistochemistry and Immunoflourescence. Other applications not tested. Recommended Dilution: ELISA: 0.1-1ug/ml Western Blot: 1-3ug/ml, Prepare lysis buffer in 10mM N-ethylmaleimide to inhibit ubiquitin-conjugating enzymes. N-ethylmaleimide inactivates certain enzymes by blocking free sulfhydryls. After electrophoresis and transfer, pre-incubate transferred membranes in denaturing buffer (6M guanidine-HCl 20mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.5, 5mM b-mercaptoethanol, 1mM PMSF) for 30-60 minutes at 4C, followed by extensive PBS washing. Immunohistochemistry: Alcohol/paraformaldhyde-fixed paraffin-embedded or Frozen tissue sections. Requires heat induced epitope retrieval with citrate buffer (pH, 6.0) for formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded sections. To stain, incubate for 30-60 minutes at RT or overnight at 4C. Immunofluorescence: 2-5ug/ml Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher. Storage and Stability: May be stored at 4C for short-term only. Aliquot to avoid repeated freezing and thawing. Store at -20C. Aliquots are stable for 12 months. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap.
