| Antigen |
Recombinant human Microtubule-associated protein tau (aa 240-450) has been used as the immunogen. |
| Other Names |
Neurofibrillary tangle protein; Paired helical filament-tau; PHF-tau; MAPT; MTBT1; TAU |
| Accession |
TAU_HUMAN |
| Produced in |
Rabbit |
| Purity |
Protein G purified IgG |
| Applications |
IH/IH(P): This antibody works superbly in both in paraffin-embedded and frozen sections. A working dilution of 1:100 to 1:1000 is recommended. This antiserum recognises both phosphorylated and unphosphorylated forms of Tau protein.
Western blot: 1:500-1:2000. Will detect multiple isoforms of Tau; Biosensis recommends optimal dilutions/concentrations should be determined by the end user. |
| Specificity |
The specificity for Tau protein was confirmed by IHC and WB and ELISA. |
| Cross-reactivity |
This antiserum cross reacts with Tau protein of human, rat and mouse origins. |
| Blast it |
If you would like to see the shared identity between different species or other proteins follow the link in Accession field, select then the sequence (make sure that you are selecting the sequence that you are interested in, as the sequence may be the precursor rather than the mature protein for example) and copy and paste it HERE and blast/format it. |
| Form |
Lyophilised |
| Reconstitution |
Reconstitute in 250 µl of sterile water. Centrifuge to remove any insoluble material. |
| Storage |
After reconstitution keep aliquots at -20ºC for a higher stability, and at 4ºC with an appropriate antibacterial agent. Glycerol (1:1) may be added for an additional stability. Avoid repetitive freeze/thaw cycles. |
| Expiry Date |
12 months after purchase |
