General description
Normal carrier sera from healthy, non-immunized rabbits.
Application
ELISA (see comments)
Flow Cytometry (see comments)
Immunoblotting (see comments)
Immunofluorescence (see comments)
Immunohistochemistry (see comments)
Immunoprecipitation (see comments)
Physical form
Serum diluted in 250 mM NaCl, 10 mM PBS, pH 7.6.
Preparation Note
Reconstitute the lypohilized diluted serum in 1 ml sterile distilled water with occasional gentle mixing for at least 2 h at 4°C. Following reconstitution, aliquot and freeze (-20°C) for long-term storage or refrigerate (4°C) with 0.1% azide for short-term storage. Avoid freeze/thaw cycles of solutions.
Other Notes
Normal sera are provided to be used as blocking agents in immunohistochemical procedures or as negative controls for undiluted serum/rabbit polyclonal antibodies from the Calbiochem brand. For use as a negative control, perform experiments in parallel using primary antibody and normal serum at the same concentrations. A signal obtained with the normal serum indicates a nonspecific interaction; any additional signal with the primary antibody indicates a specific antibody-antigen interaction. This antibody has also been reported to work for ELISA, flow cytometry, immunoblotting, immunofluorescence, immunohistochemistry, and immunoprecipitation.
