Anti-Albumin, human serum (HSA), clone 6F13

Human serum albumin (HSA) consists of a single polypeptide chain of 584 aminoacids, stabilized by 17 disulfide bridges. HSA is the most common protein in serum, it is produced in the liver and the concentration in serum is 35-50mg/ml. HSA is often used as a carrier molecule because of its binding capacity, and thus mainly functions as the regulator of the colloidal osmotic pressure of the blood. The molecular weight is 67.5kD (1). Applications: Suitable for use in ELISA and Western Blot. Other applications not tested. Recommended Dilution: ELISA: 1:5000, Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher. Hybridoma: X63-Ag8.653. Female CF1 x Balb/c mice immunized i.p. with immunogen adsorbed onto Al(OH)3. Storage and Stability: May be stored at 4°C for short-term only. For long-term storage, store at -20°C. Aliquots are 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.,
