ospC Rabbit Polyclonal Antibody

Specifications

Product Data
Applications	ELISA, WB
Recommend Dilution	WB: 1:1,000 ELISA: 1:1,000
Reactivity	Borrelia burgdorferi
Host	Rabbit
Clonality	Polyclonal
Immunogen	MBP-fusion protein corresponding to Borrelia burgdorferi OspC protein.
Specificity	This product was Protein-A purified and cross-adsorbed against MBP from monospecific antiserum by chromatography. This antibody is specific for Borrelia burgdorferi OspC protein. A BLAST analysis was used to suggest cross-reactivity with p39 from B. burgdorferi, afzelii, and valaisiana sources based on 100% homology with the immunizing sequence. Partial reactivity is expected against B. japonica and americana sources based on 94% homology. Cross-reactivity with OspC from other sources has not been determined.
Formulation	0.02 M Potassium Phosphate, 0.15 M Sodium Chloride, pH 7.2
Reconstitution Method	Restore with deionized water (or equivalent) - Reconstitution Volume: 100 µL
Concentration	1.2 mg/mL - lot specific
Conjugation	Unconjugated
Storage Condition	Store vial at -20° C or below prior to opening. This vial contains a relatively low volume of reagent (25 µL). To minimize loss of volume dilute 1:10 by adding 225 µL of the buffer stated above directly to the vial. Recap, mix thoroughly and briefly centrifuge to collect the volume at the bottom of the vial. Use this intermediate dilution when calculating final dilutions as recommended below. Store the vial at -20°C or below after dilution. Avoid cycles of freezing and thawing.
Database Link	UniProt ID Q07337
Background	Outer Surface Protein C, or OspC, is a 20.7 kDa immunogenic protein on the outer surface of the spirochete Borrelia burgdorferi. Its function is not known, but it is located with lipid-anchoring sites on the outer cell membrane.
Synonyms	rabbit anti-OspC Antibody, Borrelia burgdorferi OspC, PC, Outer Surface Protein C, BB_B19
Note	This protein-A purified antibody has been tested for use in Western blotting and ELISA. Specific conditions for reactivity should be optimized by the user. Expect a band approximately 20.7 kDa in size corresponding to Borrelia burgdorferi OspC protein by Western blotting in the appropriate cell lysate or extract.
