Ceruloplasmin (CP) Rabbit Polyclonal Antibody

Specifications

Product Data
Applications	ELISA, ID, IF, IP, R, WB
Recommend Dilution	This product is intended for use in precipitating and non-precipitating antibody-binding assays (such as e.g., ELISA and Western blotting and Immunofluorescence or Histochemical techniques), to prepare an insoluble immuno-affinity adsorbent, for labelling with a marker of the customer’s own choice. Working Dilutions in non-precipitating antibody-binding techniques: Up to 1/50,000.
Reactivity	Human
Host	Rabbit
Clonality	Polyclonal
Immunogen	Ceruloplasmin isolated and purified from Human serum. Freund's complete adjuvant is used in the first step of the immunization procedure.
Specificity	The antibody recognizes Ceruloplasmin from Human serum. The reagents were evaluated for potency, purity and specificity using most or all of the following techniques: Immunoelectrophoresis, Cross-Immunoelectrophoresis, single Radial Immunodiffusion (Ouchterlony), block titration, ELISA, Immunoblotting and Enzyme Inhibition. Cross-reactivities against enzymes of other sources may occur but have not been determined.
Formulation	PBS, pH 7.2 stabilized with Dextran, without preservatives and foreign proteins. State: Aff - Purified State: Lyophilized purified Hyperimmune IgG fraction
Reconstitution Method	Restore by adding 0.5 ml of sterile distilled water; Prepare working dilutions by adding sterile phosphate buffered saline (PBS, ph 7.2) and preferably use the same day.
Concentration	lot specific
Purification	Solid Phase Affinity Chromatography
Conjugation	Unconjugated
Storage Condition	Store the antibody lyophilized at 2-8°C. Reconstituted antibody at 2-8°C for one week or (in aliquots) at -20°C for longer. If a slight precipitation occurs upon storage, this should be removed by centrifugation.
Gene Name	ceruloplasmin (ferroxidase)
Database Link	Entrez Gene 1356 Human UniProt ID P00450
Background	Caeruloplasmin is a copper binding plasma glycoprotein consisting of a single polypeptide chain. It has a molecular weight of 132kDa and occurs in plasma at a concentration of 150-500 mg/L. Although the physiological functions of Caeruloplasmin are not fully understood it is implicated in a number of possible functions. 95% of plasma copper is bound to Caeruloplasmin, implying some involvement in copper transport. Caeruloplasmin has been described as both an oxidant and an antioxidant, its exact role or roles in this respect are not clear. Plasma levels of Caeruloplasmin are elevated after inflammation and trauma and it is therefore classified as an acute phase protein. The measurement of Caeruloplasmin in plasma is useful in the diagnosis of Wilson’s disease, where levels are greatly reduced. Caeruloplasmin is extremely labile in plasma and rapidly degrades to 115kDa and 19kDa fragments. The age of plasma samples should therefore be taken into account when interpreting immunological analysis of caeruloplasmin.
