Description
The AM64 monoclonal antibody specifically binds to CD130 which is also known as gp130 (Membrane glycoprotein 130), IL6ST (Interleukin-6 signal transducer), and IL6RB/IL-6Rβ (Interleukin-6 Receptor beta). CD130 is a 130 kDa type 1 membrane glycoprotein that belongs to the hemopoietic cytokine receptor superfamily. CD130 serves as a common signaling receptor for several cytokine receptor complexes including those that mediate the biological effects of IL-6, IL-11, IL-27, Cardiotrophin-1 (CT-1), Ciliary neurotrophic factor (CNTF), Leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF), and Oncostatin M (OSM). CD130 is widely expressed on a variety of cell types including T cells, activated B cells, monocytes, plasma cells, and endothelia. The AM64 antibody can be used in flow cytometry, immunoprecipitation, western blot, and immunohistochemistry on frozen sections.
Store undiluted at 4°C and protected from prolonged exposure to light. Do not freeze. The monoclonal antibody was purified from tissue culture supernatant or ascites by affinity chromatography. The antibody was conjugated to Alexa Fluor® 647 under optimum conditions, and unreacted Alexa Fluor® 647 was removed.
1. This reagent has been pre-diluted for use at the recommended Volume per Test. We typically use 1 × 10^6 cells in a 100-µl experimental sample (a test).
2. An isotype control should be used at the same concentration as the antibody of interest.
3. 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.
4. Source of all serum proteins is from USDA inspected abattoirs located in the United States.
5. The Alexa Fluor®, Pacific Blue™, and Cascade Blue® dye antibody conjugates in this product are sold under license from Molecular Probes, Inc. for research use only, excluding use in combination with microarrays, or as analyte specific reagents. The Alexa Fluor® dyes (except for Alexa Fluor® 430), Pacific Blue™ dye, and Cascade Blue® dye are covered by pending and issued patents.
