app notes :
Immunohistochemistry-Paraffin (5 ug/mL). Western Blot 1:5000-1:40000 . ELISA (EIA) 1:5000-1:40000. Optimal dilution to be determined by the researcher. Usage summary: Immunohistochemistry: MBS242643 was validated for use in immunohistochemistry on a panel of 21 formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) human tissues after heat indued antigen retrieval in pH 6.0 citrate buffer. After incubation with the primary antibody, slides were incubated with biotinylated secondary antibody, followed by alkaline phosphatase-streptavidin and chromogen. The stained slides were evaluated by a pathologist to confirm staining specifity. The optimal concentration for MBS242643 was determined to be 5 ug/ml.

Disclaimer: Due to the highy specific nature of antibodies and antigens, we cannot predict or be held responsible with respect to how this antibody will behave in your systems. Researchers using this antibody should conduct optimization studies to achieve the most optimal result possible for their intended application. Recommended Immunohistochemistry Protocol: The following protocol is a recommendation only, and MyBioSource, Inc. makes no guarantee of the results:. Tissue Preparation: . Formalin fixation and embedding in paraffin wax. Tissue Sectioning: . Make 4-um sections and place on pre-cleaned and charged microscope slides. Heat in a tissue-dryingoven for 45 minutes at 60°C. Deparaffinization: . Wash dry slides in 3 changes of xylene - 5 minutes each @ RT. Rehydration: . Wash slides in 3 changes of 100% alcohol - 3 minutes each @ RT. Wash slides in 2 changes of 95% alcohol - 3 minutes each @ RT. Wash slides in 1 change of 80% alcohol - 3 minutes @ RT. Rinse slides in gentle running distilled water - 5 minutes @ RT. Antigen retrieval: . Steam slides in 0.01 M sodium citrate buffer, pH 6.0 at 99-100°C - 20 minutes. Remove from heat and let stand at room temperature in buffer - 20 minutes. Rinse in 1X TBS with Tween (TBST) -1 minute @ RT. Immunostaining: . (Do not allow tissues to dry at any time during the staining procedure) . Apply a universal protein block - 20 minutes @ RT. Drain protein block from slides, apply diluted primary antibody - 45 minutes @ RT. Rinse slides in 1 X TBST - 1 minute @ RT. Apply a biotinylated secondary antibody appropriate for the primary antibody - 30 minutes @ RT. Rinse slides in 1X TBST -1 minute @ RT. Apply alkaline phosphatase streptavidin - 30 minutes @ RT. Rinse slides in 1X TBST -1 minute @ RT. Apply alkaline phosphatase chromogen substrate - 30 minutes @ RT. Wash slides in distilled water - 1 minute @ RT. Dehydrate: . (This method should only be used if the chromogen substrate is alcohol insoluble (e.g. Vector Red, DAB) . Wash slides in 2 changes of 80% alcohol - 1 minute each @ RT. Wash slides in 2 changes of 95% alcohol - 1 minute each @ RT. Wash slides in 3 changes of 100% alcohol - 1 minute each @ RT. Wash slides in 3 changes of xylene - 1 minute each @ RT. Apply coverslip. Note: During shipment,small volumes of product will ocassionally become entrapped in the seal of the product vial. We recommend briefly centrifuging the vial to dislodge any liquid in the container's cap prior to opening. Warning: This reagent may contain sodium azide. The chemical, physical, and toxicologial properties of this material have not been thoughly investigated.Standard Laboratory Practices should be followed. Avoid skin and eye contact,inhalation, and ingestion. Sodium azide forms hydrazoic acid under acidic conditions and may react with lead or copper plubing to form highly explosive metal azides. On disposal, flush with large volumes of water to prevent accumulation.
products description :
Apolipoprotein (Apo-) A-II is the second most abundant protein of the high density lipoprotein particles. The apo-A-II gene consists of 4 exons and 3 introns. The four exons encode the 5' untranslated region, pre-peptide, a short N-terminal domain and a C-terminal domain composed of a variable number of lipid-binding amphipathic helices.

ncbi summary :
This gene encodes apolipoprotein (apo-) A-II, which is the second most abundant protein of the high density lipoprotein particles. The protein is found in plasma as a monomer, homodimer, or heterodimer with apolipoprotein D. Defects in this gene may result in apolipoprotein A-II deficiency or hypercholesterolemia.
