Application

Anti-Ankyrin Antibody, clone Ank016 is an antibody against Ankyrin for use in ELISA, FC, IP, WB & IC.

Research Sub CategoryCytoskeleton

Western blotting at 1:200; low percentage PAGE gels a must; protein is quite large; proteinase inhibitors recommended or lower level fragments likely; membrane preparations and enhance signals.

ELISA: 1:1000

Immunoprecipitation: 1:100

Immunocytochemistry, using 2% paraformaldehyde fixation; higher fixation (i.e. 4% PFA can be problematic) 1:100; light fixation 5-10′ RT usually; permeabilize lightly with 0.1% triton X-100 as protein is intracellular.

Flow cytometry: 1:500

Immunohistochemistry: 1:100; light fixations suggested; PLP or mild zinc formalin recommended.

RIA: 1:5000

Optimal working dilutions must be determined by end user.

Physical form

Purified immunoglobulin from culture supernatant. Liquid in 10 mM sodium phosphate, pH 7.5 and 150mM NaCl with 0.01% NaN3.

Format: Purified

Specificity

Reacts with the intracellular ankyrin (216 kDa). Ankyrin consists of a single peptide of M.W. 215 kDa known to be involved in the attachment of spectrin containing membrane skeleton to the plasma membranes. Ankyrin belongs to a family of closely related polypeptides associated with the plasma membrane of cells in a variety of cell types (e.g., lymphocytes, platelets, fibroblasts and endothelial cells) and various tissues (e.g., brain, kidney, muscle and many epithelial tissues).

Storage and Stability

Maintain at -20°C in undiluted aliquots for up to 12 months after date of receipt. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles.
