Recombinant mouse PAP protein was expressed in bacteria. Antibodies against this protein were prepared by injecting purified recombinant PAP into laying hens and purifying the IgY fraction from eggs collected from hyper-immunized hens. These antibodies have been validated with human, mouse and rat tissues.

Volume: 200 µL

Concentration: 10 mg/mL

Clonality: Polyclonal

Host Species: Chicken

Species Reactivity:Human, Mouse, Rat

Protein Name / Synonyms: Prostatic acid phosphatase (PAP) (EC 3.1.3.2) (5"-nucleotidase) (5"-NT) (EC 3.1.3.5) (Ecto-5"-nucleotidase) (Thiamine monophosphatase) (TMPase) [Cleaved into: PAPf39]

Target Description: Mouse Prostatic Acid Phosphatase (PAP) is a 43,698 dalton protein (381 amino acids; NCBI accession number AAF23171) associated with prostatic cancer cells, as well as primary afferent sensory neurons involved in the pain pathway. This protein is an enzyme that dephosphorylates adenosine monophosphate (AMP) in the dorsal horn gray matter of the spinal cord, generating free adenosine. Injections of PAP into the dorsal horn of experimental mice has been shown to decrease pain perception by acting in an antinociceptive, antihyperalgesic, and antiallodynic fashion.

Gene ID: ACPP

Antibody Registry ID (RRID): AB_2313557

Physical State: Liquid

Production Notes: Chickens were immunized with recombinant mouse Prostatic Acid Phosphatase protein. After repeated injections, immune eggs were collected from laying hens, from which IgY antibody were prepared ("anti-PAP IgY fraction"). Some of this antibody was further purified using an agarose matrix to which the PAP protein was covalently attached ("Affinity-purified anti-PAP"). The final preparation in the accompanying vial contains 10 mg/mL of the "anti-PAP IgY fraction" supplemented with 20 µg/mL of the "affinity-purified anti-PAP" plus 50% (v/v) glycerol (to prevent freezing at –20˚C). Finally, this antibody preparation was filter-sterilized (0.45 mm) and 200 ul aliquots prepared.

Validation and Application Notes

Molecular Weight: 45 kDa

Western Blot Dilution Range: 1:1000-1:2000

IHC Dilution Range: 1:500-1:1000

Quality Control

Antibodies were analyzed using immunohistochemistry with tissue sections through a 10%-formalin fixed adult mouse. Sections were examined for PAPpositive dorsal root ganglion sensory neurons. Secondary antibodies (fluorescein-labeled goat anti-chicken IgY, Aves Cat. #F-1004) were used at a concentration of 1:500.

Storage

Store at -20°C in the dark. Under these conditions, the antibodies should have a shelf life of at least 2 years (provided they remain sterile). For longer storage periods, store at -80°C. Note that storage at this lower temperature will destroy some antibody activity due to water crystallization.

鸡的概念 在一次会议上，他与同事的一次谈话说服了西蒙博士再次尝试制造这种抗体，但是尝试把鸡作为宿主——鸡在进化上与包括人类在内的哺乳动物完全不同。结果表明:人蛋白抗原具有高度的免疫原性，抗体产量异常高，免疫试剂结合紧密，特异性高。 今天的Aves 从那时起，Aves Labs开创了在蛋白质中寻找高免疫原性肽序列的新算法，开发了针对鸡抗体的新的亲和纯化方法，并开发了许多其他有用的试剂，如BlokHen®阻断试剂和PrecipHen®免疫沉淀试剂。Aves实验室继续开发针对神经特异性抗原和表位标签的新型抗体试剂，以促进神经科学和分子生物学领域的科学进步。
