ELISA (EIA), Functional Assays (FN), Western Blot (WB)
app notes :
ELISA: Recombinant human defensin-alpha-1 may be used as a standard for ELISA applications with either a purified anti human defensin-alpha-1 antibody or a biotinylated anti human defensin-alpha-1 antibody. Western Blot: Recombinant human defensin-alpha-1 may be used as a positive control for Western Blotting applications with either a purifed human defensin-alpha-1 antibody or a biotinylated human defensin-alpha-1 antibody. ELISA: Minimum Dilution: 0.2; Maximum Dilution: 0.4ng/well. Western Blotting: Minimum Dilution: 1.5; Maximum Dilution: 3.0ng/lane
other info1 :
Reconstitution: Reconstitute with 0.2ml distilled water. Care should be taken during reconstitution as the protein may appear as a film at the bottom of the vial. MyBioSource recommends that the vial is gently mixed after reconstitution. Preparation: Purified recombinant defensin-alpha-1 expressed in E Coli
other info2 :
Activity: Determined by its ability to chemoattract immature dendritic cells using a concentration of 1.0-10.0 ng/ml. Target Species: Human
products description :
Recombinant Human Defensin-alpha-1 is a 3.4kDa peptide comprised of 30 amino acid residues corresponding to full-length mature human defenstin alpha 1. Defensin-alpha-1, otherwise known as HNP-1, is a secreted cationic antimicrobial peptide and member of the alpha-defensin family, which plays an important role in the innate immune response against microbial infections.

ncbi summary :
Defensins are a family of antimicrobial and cytotoxic peptides thought to be involved in host defense. They are abundant in the granules of neutrophils and also found in the epithelia of mucosal surfaces such as those of the intestine, respiratory tract, urinary tract, and vagina. Members of the defensin family are highly similar in protein sequence and distinguished by a conserved cysteine motif. The protein encoded by this gene, defensin, alpha 1, is found in the microbicidal granules of neutrophils and likely plays a role in phagocyte-mediated host defense. Several alpha defensin genes are clustered on chromosome 8. This gene differs from defensin, alpha 3 by only one amino acid. This gene and the gene encoding defensin, alpha 3 are both subject to copy number variation. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.
