By protein-G affinity chromatography
form :
Liquid. Supplied in Phosphate-Buffered Saline (pH 7.4) with 0.1% Sodium Azide.
storage stability :
Can be stored at 4 degree C. For long term storage, aliquot and store at -20 degree C. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing cycles.
tested application :
ELISA (EIA), Western Blot (WB) (Cell lysate)
app notes :
The antibody has been tested by ELISA and Western blot analysis to assure specificity and reactivity. Since application varies, however, each investigation should be titrated by the reagent to obtain optimal results. Recommended dilution range for Western blot analysis is 1:500 ~ 2,000. Recommended starting dilution is 1:1,000. Please note that this antibody (2E8) has the specificity against crystallin alpha B, do not detect crystallin alpha A.
other info1 :
Antigen Species: Human. Clone: Anti-human Crystallin alpha B mAb, clone 2E8, is derived from hybridization of mouse SP2/O myeloma cells with spleen cells from BALB/c mice immunized with recombinant Crystallin alpha B. Immunogen: Recombinant human Crystallin alpha B (1-175 aa) purified from E Coli
products categories :
Heat Shock Proteins
products description :
alpha-Crystallins are composed of two gene products; alpha-Crystallin A and B, for acidic and basic, respectively. alpha-Crystallins can be induced by heat shock and are members of the small heat shock protein (sHSP also known as the HSP20). They act as molecular chaperones and hold them in large soluble aggregates. These heterogeneous aggregates consist of 30-40 subunits; the alpha-Crystallin A and B subunits have a 3:1 ratio, respectively. Two additional functions of alpha-crystallins are an autokinase activity and participation in the intracellular architecture. alpha-Crystallin B is expressed widely in many tissues and organs and occurs in many neurological diseases.

ncbi summary :
Mammalian lens crystallins are divided into alpha, beta, and gamma families. Alpha crystallins are composed of two gene products: alpha-A and alpha-B, for acidic and basic, respectively. Alpha crystallins can be induced by heat shock and are members of the small heat shock protein (HSP20) family. They act as molecular chaperones although they do not renature proteins and release them in the fashion of a true chaperone; instead they hold them in large soluble aggregates. Post-translational modifications decrease the ability to chaperone. These heterogeneous aggregates consist of 30-40 subunits; the alpha-A and alpha-B subunits have a 3:1 ratio, respectively. Two additional functions of alpha crystallins are an autokinase activity and participation in the intracellular architecture. The encoded protein has been identified as a moonlighting protein based on its ability to perform mechanistically distinct functions. Alpha-A and alpha-B gene products are differentially expressed; alpha-A is preferentially restricted to the lens and alpha-B is expressed widely in many tissues and organs. Elevated expression of alpha-B crystallin occurs in many neurological diseases; a missense mutation cosegregated in a family with a desmin-related myopathy. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2014]
