Anti-LDLR (Low-density Lipoprotein Receptor, LDL Receptor) (PE)

LDL R is the prototype low density lipoprotein receptor. It is a transmembrane protein that plays a role in cholesterol homeostasis by mediating the uptake of low density lipoproteins. Some of the many allelic variants of LDL R cause familial hypercholesterolemia. Applications: Suitable for use in Flow Cytometry. Other applications not tested. Recommended Dilutions: Flow Cytometry: 10ul labels 1x10e6 cells. Validated using HepG2 cells., Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher. Flow Cytometry Protocol: 1. Cells may be Fc-blocked with 1ug of human IgG/10e5 cells for 15 minutes at RT. Do not wash excess blocking IgG from this reaction., 2. After blocking, add 10ul of L2601-02G to up to 1x10e6 cells and incubate for 30 minutes at RT., 3. Remove unbound antibody by washing the cells twice in Flow Cytometry Staining Buffer (F4568-10). Note that whole blood requires a RBC lysis step at this point using Flow Cytometry Human Lyse Buffer., 4. Resuspend the cells in Flow Cytometry Staining Buffer for final flow cytometric analysis. As a control for this analysis, cells in a separate tube should be treated with PE-labeled mouse IgG1 antibody. Storage and Stability: Store product at 4°C in the dark. DO NOT FREEZE! Stable at 4°C for 12 months after receipt as an undiluted liquid. Caution: PE conjugates are sensitive to light. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial prior to removing the cap.
