Two antipeptide antibodies were generated in chickens against sequences shared between the mouse (P20357) and human (NP_002365) gene products. Antibodies were affinity-purified and mixed in equal concentrations. These antibodies have been validated with human, mouse and rat tissues.

Target

Microtubule-Associated Protein (MAP2)

Target Description

Human MAP-2 is a 199,296 dalton protein (1827 amino acids) expressed in neurons of the PNS and CNS, where it serves as a major component of the neuronal cytoskeleton. MAP-2 contributes to structural integrity and cell shape.

Concentration

200 µg/mL

Clonality

Applications

ICC, IHC, WB

Host Species

Chicken

Gene Name

MAP2

Molecular Weight

280 kDa

Antigen

Synthetic peptides

Species Reactivity

Human, Mouse, Rat

Antibody Registry ID

AB_2313549

Storage

Store at 4°C in the dark. Under these conditions, the antibodies should have a shelf life of at least 12 months (provided they remain sterile). Do not freeze these antibodies unless you want to store them for longer periods of time. Note, however, that each time an antibody preparation is frozen, about half of its binding activity is lost.

Physical State

Liquid

Production Notes

Chickens were immunized with two synthetic peptide / keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH) conjugates. These synthetic peptides corresponded to different regions of the MAP-2 gene product, but are shared between the human (NP_002365, NCBI) and mouse (P20357, NCBI) sequences. After repeated injections, immune eggs were collected, and the IgY fractions were purified from the yolks. These IgY fractions were then affinity-purified using a peptide column, and the concentrations of the eluates adjusted to 200 µg/mL. Finally, equal volumes of both of these affinitypurified anti-peptide antibodies were mixed, and the preparation was filter-sterilized.

Dilution Ranges

WB: 1:5000-1:10000
IHC: 1:1000-1:2000

Quality Control

Both of these anti-peptide antibodies were analyzed by immunohisto-chemistry (at a dilution of 1:2000) using fluorescein-labeled goat anti-chicken IgY (1:500 dilution, Aves Labs Cat.# F-1005) as the secondary reagent.

Usage Statement

These antibodies are to be used as research laboratory reagents and are not for use as diagnostic or therapeutic reagents in humans.
