BMP-2 Antibody

Primary Antibodies, Antibody Pairs

BMP-2 antibody is stable for at least 2 years from date of receipt at -20˚ C. The reconstituted antibody is stable for at least two weeks at 2-8˚ C. Frozen aliquots are stable for at least 6 months when stored at -20˚ C. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.

BMPs (bone morphogenetic proteins) belong to the TGF beta superfamily of structurally related signaling proteins. Members of this superfamily are widely represented throughout the animal kingdom and have been implicated in a variety of developmental processes. Proteins of the TGF beta superfamily are disulfide-linked dimers composed of two 12-15 kDa polypeptide chains. As implied by their name, BMPs initiate, promote and regulate bone development, growth, remodeling and repair.

None

Anti-hBMP-2 specific antibody was purified by affinity chromatography employing immobilized hBMP-2 matrix.

ELISA:
To detect hBMP-2 by direct ELISA (using 100 μ L/well antibody solution) a concentration of at least 0.5 μ g/mL of this antibody is required. This antigen affinity purified antibody, in conjunction with compatible secondary reagents, allows the detection of 0.2 - 0.4 ng/well of recombinant hBMP-2.
Western Blot:
To detect hBMP-2 by Western Blot analysis this antibody can be used at a concentration of 0.1 - 0.2 μ g/mL. Used in conjunction with compatible secondary reagents the detection limit for recombinant hBMP-2 is 1.5 - 3.0 ng/lane, under either reducing or non-reducing conditions.
