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

Lyso(bis)phosphatidic acid (LBPA) is a structural isomer of phosphatidylglyerol with an atypical phospholipid stereo configuration. It is found in all animal tissues in a small amount ( 1%). However, it is only detected in late endosomes where it accounts for up to 17 mol % of total membrane phospholipids. It is abundant in the intralumenal vesicles that accumulate within late endosomes, accounting for the characteristic multi-vesicular appearance of these organelles. Late endosomes function not only as a major protein-sorting compartment, but also an obligatory station for LDL and other endocytosed ligands destined for degradation. LBPA is involved in the traffic of proteins and lipids that transit via late endosomes where membranes rich in LBPA regulate cholesterol transport and assist in presenting sphingolipids to their degradation enzymes. LBPA is shown to be highly resistant to lipases and phospholipases. Niemann Pick Type C (NPC) disease, caused by a mutation in either Niemann Pick C1 or C2 protein, results in lysosomal and endosomal disorders leading to excessive accumulation of cholesterol, particularly in skin fibroblasts. LBPA treatment of cells with NPC1 mutations is reported to compensate for the loss of NPC1 and reduce cholesterol build up and improve lysosomal function. However, LBPA is reported to be ineffective in reducing cholesterol build-up in NPC2 deficient cells. This ZooMAbZooMAb^® 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 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.
