Anti-Fibronectin (FN, Fibronectin 1, FN1, Cold-insoluble Globulin, CIG, ED-B, FINC, FNZ, GFND, GFND2

Fibronectins are disulfide-linked, dimeric glycoproteins of ~440kD. They possess at least four binding sites for collagen, glycosaminoglycans, transglutaminase and a cell surface receptor. Fibronectins are involved in cell adhesion, tissue organization and wound healing. Fibronectins are present in basement membranes, interstitial connective tissue matrix and blood. Cellular fibronectin is widely distributed in the stroma of many malignant tumors. Applications: Suitable for use in ELISA, Immunoelectrophoresis and single and double radial immunodiffusion. Other applications not tested. Recommended Dilution: Immunoelectrophoresis: 2ml plasma or equivalent against 120ml antiserum, Double Radial Immunodiffusion: Use a rosette arrangement with 10ml antiserum in 3mm, diameter center well and 2ml plasma samples (neat and serially diluted) in 2mm diameter, peripheral wells., Single Radial Immunodiffusion: 1% in the gel., Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher. Storage and Stability: Lyophilized powder may be stored at -20°C. Stable for 12 months at -20°C. Reconstitute with sterile ddH2O. Aliquot to avoid repeated freezing and thawing. Store at -20°C. Reconstituted product is stable for 12 months at -20°C. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer.
