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.

Specificity

Clone 1D20 is a ZooMAb® rabbit recombinant monoclonal antibody that detects Luciferin 4-monooxygenase (Luciferase).

Immunogen

His-tagged, full-length recombinant Luciferase from firefly.

Application

Quality Control Testing

Evaluated by Western Blotting with His-tagged, full-length recombinant Firefly Luciferase.

Western Blotting Analysis: A 1:20,000 dilution of this antibody detected His-tagged, full-length, recombinant firefly Luciferase.

Tested Applications

Western Blotting Analysis: A 1:20,000 dilution from a representative lot detected Luciferase in lysate from HeLa cells transfected with Luciferase expression plasmid.

Enzyme Immunoassay (ELISA) Analysis: A serial of dilutions from a representative lot detected His-tagged, full-length recombinant Luciferase from firefly.

Flow Cytometry Analysis: 1 µg from a representative lot detected Luciferase in one million HeLa cells transfected with Luciferase expression plasmid. .

Affinity Binding Assay: A representative lot of this antibody bound His-tagged, full-length, recombinant Luciferase with a KD of 1.1 x 10-8 in an affinity binding assay.

Immunocytochemistry Analysis: A 1:1,000 dilution from a representative lot detected Luciferase in HeLa cells, and HeLa cells transfected with Luciferase.

Note: Actual optimal working dilutions must be determined by end user as specimens, and experimental conditions may vary with the end user.

Target description

Luciferin 4-monooxygenase (UniProt: P08659; also known as Luciferase) from firefly is a widely used bioluminescent reporter for studying gene regulation and function. It is a sensitive genetic reporter due to the absence of endogenous luciferase activity in mammalian cells or tissues. Firefly luciferase is a 62.75 kDa protein, which is active as a monomer and does not require subsequent processing for its activity. The enzyme catalyzes ATP-dependent D-luciferin oxidation to oxyluciferin, producing light emission centered at 560 nm. Light emitted from the reaction is directly proportional to the number of luciferase enzyme molecules. 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 rabbit monoclonal antibody IgG, lyophilized in PBS with 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.
