BD, 556035, Purified Mouse Anti-Human Myeloperoxidase 1B10

Reacts with myeloperoxidase (MPO), a hemoprotein of 140 kDa, composed of two heavy subunits of 52 kDa and two light chains of 15 kDa. MPO is stored in primary azurophilic granules of neutrophils and plays a major role in the bactericidal activity of neutrophils during phagocytosis. It catalyzes the generation of hypochlorous acid, a powerful oxidant. 1B10 antibody detects MPO in neutrophils, monocytes and HL-60 cells. This reagent is suitable for immunohistochemical staining of acetone-fixed, frozen tissue section, or formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue sections with TUF pretreatment, or zinc-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue sections with no pretreatment.

Store undiluted at 4°C. The monoclonal antibody was purified from tissue culture supernatant or ascites by affinity chromatography.
1. Please refer to www.bdbiosciences.com/us/s/resources for technical protocols.
2. Since applications vary, each investigator should titrate the reagent to obtain optimal results.
3. An isotype control should be used at the same concentration as the antibody of interest.
4. Caution: Sodium azide yields highly toxic hydrazoic acid under acidic conditions. Dilute azide compounds in running water before discarding to avoid accumulation of potentially explosive deposits in plumbing.
5. Sodium azide is a reversible inhibitor of oxidative metabolism; therefore, antibody preparations containing this preservative agent must not be used in cell cultures nor injected into animals. Sodium azide may be removed by washing stained cells or plate-bound antibody or dialyzing soluble antibody in sodium azide-free buffer. Since endotoxin may also affect the results of functional studies, we recommend the NA/LE (No Azide/Low Endotoxin) antibody format, if available, for in vitro and in vivo use.
