SpecificityThe specificity of this antibody has been confirmed by WB and IHC against the antigen. Rat
Species ReactivityRat
Immunogen DescriptionA synthetic peptide (YNNCPPHSSLCGYKEPLLSCLIIMCEPIQHPSHMDIPLD) corresponding to a region (202-240) from rat Hypoxia-inducible factor-2 alpha. To enhance the immunological response, this peptide was coupled to carrier protein BSA.
ConjugateUnconjugated
Purity DescriptionAffinity purified on antigen column
Application DetailsImmunohistochemistry (IHC) and Western Blotting (WB). A concentration of 1.0 µg/mL is recommended for WB. Rat HIF-2 alpha has a predicted length of 874 residues and MW of 97 kDa. A concentration of 0.5-1.0 µg/mL is recommended to detect the protein in formalin fixed and paraffin embedded tissues as well as formalin/acetone fixed frozen tissues. Biosensis recommends optimal dilutions/concentrations should be determined by the end user.
