General description

Mouse monoclonal antibody supplied as diluted culture supernatant. Recognizes the ~35 kDa E2, E3, and E4 isoforms of apolipoprotein E.

Anti-Apolipoprotein E, mouse monoclonal, clone E6D7, recognizes the ~35 kDa Apo E2, E3, and E4 in human serum and brain. It is validated for ELISA, WB, IP, and paraffin and frozen sections.

Recognizes the ~35 kDa E2, E3, and E4 isoforms of apolipoprotein E in human serum and brain.

Other Notes

Recognizes the ~35 kDa E2, E3, and E4 isoforms of apolipoprotein E in human serum, but multiple bands are seen when used with brain tissue samples. Staining of formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissues may be enhanced by the pre-treatment of tissue with 70% formic acid for 10-30 min at room temperature or by heat pre-treatment using citrate buffer, pH 6.0. This antibody has also been reported to work for immunoprecipitation and ELISA. Antibody should be titrated for optimal results in individual systems.
