Anti-Wnt8b (Wingless-type MMTV (Mouse Mammary Tumor Virus) Integration Site Family Member)

Mouse Wnt-8b is a 40-50kD secreted glycoprotein member of the Wnt family of proteins. Mature mouse Wnt-8b is 329aa in length and contains 24 cysteines plus three potential N-linked glycosylation sites. Little is known about Wnt8b. It appears to play a role in forebrain development. Applications: Suitable for use in Immunohistochemistry and Direct ELISA. Other applications not tested. Recommended Dilutions: Immunohistochemistry: 10ug/ml detects Wnt-8b on mouse fetal brain tissue sections. Sections were fixed with PBS containing 4% paraformaldehyde for 20 minutes at RT and blocked with PBS containing 10% normal donkey serum, 0.1% Triton X-100, and 1% BSA for 45 minutes at RT. After blocking, cells were incubated with diluted W3037-10 overnight at 4°C followed by Rhodamine Red-coupled anti-rat IgG at RT in the dark for one hour. Between each step, cells were washed with PBS containing 0.1% BSA., Direct ELISA: 0.5-1.0ug/ml with the appropriate secondary reagent to detec human or mouse Wnt8b. The detection limit is ~5ng/well. , Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher. Storage and Stability: Lyophilized powder may be stored at -20°C. Stable for 12 months after receipt at -20°C. Reconstitute with sterile PBS. Aliquot to avoid repeated freezing and thawing. Store 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.
