ZooMAb^® antibodies represent an entirely new generation of recombinant monoclonal antibodies.Each ZooMAb^® antibody is manufactured using our proprietary recombinant expression system, purified to homogeneity, and precisely dispensed to produce robust and highly reproducible lot-to-lot consistency. Only top-performing clones are released for use by researchers. Each antibody is validated for high specificity and affinity across multiple applications, including its most commonly used application. ZooMAb^® antibodies are reliably available and ready to ship when you need them.

Target description

Fibroblasts, spindle-shaped cells, are derived from undifferentiated mesenchymal cells and are the most common cells of connective tissue in animals. Their main function is to maintain the structural integrity of connective tissues by continuously secreting precursors of ECM. They are capable of both synthesis and degradation of extracellular matrix (ECM). Unstimulated fibroblasts are biosynthetically quiescent, however, when stimulated by extracellular signals they secrete ECM macromolecules, growth factors, and an array of cytokines. They play a critical role in maintaining homeostasis of the microenvironment and play a critical role in wound healing. During the wound healing process, growth factors released by inflammatory cells stimulate fibroblasts to migrate toward a wound where they proliferate and secrete a collagen-rich extracellular matrix. They differentiate into myofibroblasts and actively close the wound by contraction. Clone TE-7 is a reliable marker for mesodermally derived cells in various fetal and adult tissues and fibrosarcoma. It is also useful for the assessment of thymic epithelial culture contamination with fibroblasts. This ZooMAb^® recombinant monoclonal antibody, generated by our propriety technology, offers significantly enhanced specificity, affinity, reproducibility, and stability over conventional monoclonals.

Physical form

Purified recombinant mouse monoclonal antibody IgG, lyophilized in PBS, 5% Trehalose, normal appearance a coarse or translucent resin. The PBS/trehalose components in the ZooMAb formulation can have the appearance of a semi-solid (bead like gel) after lyophilization. This is a normal phenomenon. Please follow the recommended reconstitution procedure in the data sheet to dissolve the semi-solid, bead-like, gel-appearing material. The resulting antibody solution is completely stable and functional as proven by full functional testing. Contains no biocide or preservatives, such as azide, or any animal by-products. Larger pack sizes provided as multiples of 25 μL.

Reconstitution

300 μg/mL after reconstitution at 25 μL per vial. Please refer to guidance on suggested starting dilutions and/or titers per application and sample type.

Storage and Stability

Recommend storage of lyophilized product at 2-8°C; Before reconstitution, micro-centrifuge vials briefly to spin down material to bottom of the vial; Reconstitute each vial by adding 25 μL of filtered lab grade water or PBS; Reconstituted antibodies can be stored at 2-8°C, or -20°C for long term storage. Avoid repeated freeze-thaws.
