c-fos Oncoprotein (Fos) (PE)

Antibodies / Antibodies-Oncoproteins

4°C Do Not Freeze

Supplied as a liquid in PBS, pH 7.2. No preservative added. Labeled with R-Phycoerythrin (PE).

Synthetic peptide: Met-Phe-Ser-Gly-Phe-Asn-Ala-Asp-Tyr-Glu-Ala- Ser-Ser-Ser-Arg-Cys, selected from a conserved region of mouse and human c-fos.

c-fos is a 55kD nuclear associated protein that is rapidly induced in HL60, HeLa and NIH3T3 cells by a variety of agents. c-fos is also induced in neuronal tissue following drug induced seizures.

Applications:
Suiatble for use in Western Blot and Immunocytochemistry. Other applications have not been tested.

Recommended Dilution:
Western Blot: Detergent lysates were produced from HeLa and HL-60 cells stimulated to express c-fos protein. Detects a band at 55-60kD on immunoblots of stimulated HeLa and HL-60 lysates.
Immunocytochemistry: Has been used in immunocytochemistry of vibratome sections of rat brains following either surgical damage to one of the hemispheres (detects c-fos and c-fos related proteins in the nuclei of neurons in the damaged hemisphere) or kainic acid treatment.
Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.

Storage and Stability:
Store product at 4°C in the dark. DO NOT FREEZE! Stable at 4°C for 12 months after receipt as an undiluted liquid. Dilute required amount only prior to immediate use. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer. Caution: PE conjugates are sensitive to light. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial prior to removing the cap.

Note: Applications are based on unconjugated antibody.
