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.

標靶描述
Neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (UniProt: P80188; also known NGAL, 25 kDa alpha-2-microglobulin-related subunit of MMP-9, Lipocalin-2, Oncogene 24p3, Siderocalin, p25) is encoded by the LCN2 (also known as HNL, NGAL) gene (Gene ID: 3934) in human. Lipocalin-2 is an iron-trafficking cytoplasmic protein that is synthesized with a signal peptide (aa 1-20) that is subsequently cleaved off to produce the mature form. It releases the bound iron in the acidic lumen of cytoplasmic vesicles. Higher expression of Lipocalin-2 is observed in bone marrow, uterus, prostate, salivary gland, stomach, appendix, colon, trachea, and lung. It is also detected in neutrophils. It is involved in multiple processes, including apoptosis, innate immunity, and renal development. It serves as a marker of inflammation. It is reported to bind iron through association with 2,3-dihydroxybenzoic acid (2,3-DHBA), a siderophore that delivers or removes iron from the cell, depending on the context. The iron-bound form of Lipocalin-2 is internalized following binding to the SLC22A17 (24p3R) receptor that LEADS™ to release of iron and subsequent increase of intracellular iron concentration. However, association of the iron-free form (apo-24p3) with the SLC22A17 (24p3R) receptor is followed by association with an intracellular siderophore, iron chelation and iron transfer to the extracellular medium, which LEADS™ to a reduction in intracellular iron levels. Two isoforms of Lipocalin-2 have been described that are produced by alternative splicing. This ZooMAb® recombinant monoclonal antibody, generated by our propriety technology, offers significantly enhanced specificity, Affinity™, reproducibility, and stability over conventional monoclonals.

外觀
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.
重構
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.
儲存和穩定性
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.
