FILAMIN; MS X-100UL

Not available outside of the UK & Ireland.

Analysis Note

ControlPositive control tisse: skin.

Application

Immunoblotting: 1:250 to 1:1000

Immunoprecipitation:Suggested lysis buffer is PBS with 0.5% triton X-100 with proteinase inhibitors (note for full length filamin include calpain inhibitors). 5 microliters of antibody for every 300μL of cell lysate (3-5mg/ml total protein is suggested). Incubation is 4 hours RT or overnight 4C; Protein A/G agarose beads or rabbit anti-mouse secondary capture antibody is recommended for best recovery. 4-10% acrylamide gels are recommended for full length filamin or the 80kDa fragement visualization.

Immunofluorescence: 1:50 to 1:200 using standard ABC technique. Suitable for staining of paraffin embedded sections (lower dilutions). High temperature citrate buffer antigen retrieval technique recommended.

Optimal working dilutions must be determined by end user.
