General description

Anti-Cathepsin B (Ab-1), mouse monoclonal, clone CA10, recognizes the ~43 kDa latent and ~31 kDa active forms of cathepsin B in HepG2 cells. It is validated for WB, IF, and IP.
Purified mouse monoclonal antibody generated by immunizing BALB/c mice with the specified immunogen and fusing splenocytes with SP2/O-NS1 plasmacytoma cells. Recognizes the ~43 kDa latent and the ~31 kDa active forms of cathepsin B.
Recognizes the ~43 kDa latent and the ~31 kDa active forms of cathepsin B in HepG2 cells.

Immunogen

Epitope: within the heavy chain of mature cathepsin B
Human
purified human liver cathepsin B

Application

Immunoblotting (250 ng/ml)

Immunoprecipitation (1 µg/ml)

Immunofluorescence (see comments)

Warning

Toxicity: Standard Handling (A)

Physical form

Lyophilized from 20 mM ammonium bicabonate buffer, 100 µg BSA (100 µg size) or 20 µg BSA (20 µg size).

Reconstitution

Resuspend the lyophilized antibody with 1 ml sterile PBS. Lyophilized antibodies should be resuspended at 4°C with occasional gentle mixing for at least 2 h. Store at 4°C until reconstituted, then store in aliquots at -20°C or at 4°C with 0.1% azide. Freezing of aliquots is best for long-term storage of reconstituted product. Avoid freeze/thaw cycles.

This antibody recognizes an epitope on the heavy chain of mature cathepsin B and therefore detects both mature and pro-cathepsin B. Also reported to work for immunofluorescence. Antibody should be titrated for optimal results in individual systems.

CSF-1 and IL-34 share the CSF-1 receptor and no differences have been reported in the signaling pathways triggered by both ligands in human monocytes. IL-34 promotes the differentiation and survival of monocytes, macrophages and osteoclasts, as CSF-1 does. However, IL-34

The tumor necrosis factor related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) causes cancer cell death, but many cancers, including pancreatic cancer, are resistant to TRAIL therapy. A combination of TRAIL and the diterpene triepoxide, triptolide, is effective in inducing pancreatic cancer cell death.
