Immunohistochemistry (IHC)

(Figure 2. IHC analysis of Afm using anti-Afm antibody (MBS1753302).Afm was detected in paraffin-embedded section of rat liver tissue. Heat mediated antigen retrieval was performed in EDTA buffer (pH8. 0, epitope retrieval solution). The tissue section was blocked with 10% goat serum. The tissue section was then incubated with 2μg/ml rabbit anti-Afm Antibody (MBS1753302) overnight at 4 degree C. Biotinylated goat anti-rabbit IgG was used as secondary antibody and incubated for 30 minutes at 37 degree C. The tissue section was developed using Strepavidin-Biotin-Complex (SABC) (Catalog # MBS176451) with DAB as the chromogen. )

Related Product Information for anti-Afm antibody
Afamin is a protein that in humans is encoded by the AFM gene. This gene is a member of the albumin gene family, which is comprised of four genes that localize to chromosome 4 in a tandem arrangement. These four genes encode structurally-related serum transport proteins that are known to be evolutionarily related. The protein encoded by this gene is regulated developmentally, expressed in the liver and secreted into the bloodstream.

Product Notes

The Afm afm (Catalog #AAA1753302) is an Antibody produced from Rabbit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The Anti-Afm Antibody reacts with Mouse, Rat and may cross-react with other species as described in the data sheet. AAA Biotech's Afm can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Western Blot (WB), Immunohistochemistry-Paraffin (IHC-P), Flow Cytometry (FC/FACS/FCM), Direct ELISA (EIA). WB: 0.1-0.25ug/ml|Mouse, Rat| IHC-P: 2-5ug/ml|Rat| FC/FACS/FCM: 1-3ug/1x106 cells|Mouse| Direct ELISA: 0.1-0.5ug/ml|Mouse|. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the Afm afm for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Afm, Polyclonal Antibody" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.
