Application

Anti-Chondroitin 6 Sulfate Antibody, clone MK-302 is an antibody against Chondroitin 6 Sulfate for use in ELISA, RIA & WB.

ELISA at 1:100-1:5,000

RIA at 1:100-1:200.

Chondroitinase ABC digestion prior to antibody reaction is required for antibody reactivity. {0.5U/mL in 100mM Tris-HCL, 30 minutes room temperature} A dramatic proteolytic digestion of the core protein (e.g. with papain or pronase) significantly reduces the antibody reactivity.

Optimal working dilutions must be determined by the end user.

Immunogen

Chondroitinase ABC-digested adult human aggrecan.

Physical form

Specificity

Reacts with a wide range of cartilage proteoglycans after either chondroitinase (ABC or AC) or testicular hyaluronidase digestion. Native proteoglycans do not react with MAB2035. Antibody binding to epitope is successfully inhibited by disaccharides of chondroitin-6-sulfate. Recognizes the chondroitin-6-sulfate stubs (preferentially in clusters) of high density cartilage proteoglycans of different species. No cross-reactivity with dermatan sulfate, keratan sulfate or chondroitin-4-sulfate.
