Description

General description

Anti-Cathepsin D (Ab-1), mouse monoclonal, clone BC011, recognizes latent and mature form and the ~34 kDa subunit in breast carcinoma tissue extracts. It is validated for WB and for paraffin sections.

Purified mouse monoclonal antibody generated by immunizing CB6F1 mice with the specified immunogen and fusing splenocytes with SP2/0 cells. Recognizes the ~52 kDa pro-cathespin D, the ~48 kDa mature cathepsin D, and the ~34 kDa subunit of cathespin D.

Recognizes the ~52 kDa latent form, the ~48 kDa mature form, and the ~34 kDa subunit of cathepsin D in breast carcinoma tissue extracts.

Immunogen

mature, human cathepsin D

Application

Immunoblotting (1 µg/ml)

Paraffin Sections (5 µg/ml, trypsin pre-treatment required)

Packaging

Please refer to vial label for lot-specific concentration.

Warning

Toxicity: Standard Handling (A)

Other Notes

Does not detect the ~14 kDa subunit of cathespin D, nor will it detect cathespins B or L. Cathepsins are secreted and accumulate in conditioned tissue culture media and can be detected by immunoblotting from this source. Some cell extracts do not contain sufficient cathepsin for detection by immunoblotting. Antibody should be titrated for optimal results in individual systems.
