Antibody information

Mouse monoclonal IgG2a

Company: Abcam

Antibody: GBA

Catalog number: ab55080

Summary: Mouse monoclonal IgG2a against a recombinant fragment (GST-tag) corresponding to human GBA (aa 146-236). Reacts with human. Suitable for western blot, immunohistochemistry (paraffin and frozen), immunocytochemistry/immunofluorescence.

Validation Method

Western blot

Sample

WT and GBA-KO HEK 293 and A549 cells. Cell samples were lysed with PBS containing 1% SDS, 5 mM EDTA, and 1 mM sodium vanadate (Sigma catalog no. S6508).

Secondary incubation

Coupled to horseradish peroxidase.

Detection

Chemiluminescent horseradish peroxidase (HRP) substrate. Images were captured with an Alpha-Innotech Fluorchem detector.
