Anti-Galectin 8/Gal-8 antibody [EPR4857] - BSA and Azide free,Abcam,AB239983

ab239983 is the carrier-free version of ab109519 . Species reactivity Mouse, Rat: We have preliminary internal testing data to indicate this antibody may not react with these species. Please contact us for more information. Patented technology Our RabMAb ® technology is a patented hybridoma-based technology for making rabbit monoclonal antibodies. For details on our patents, please refer to RabMAb ® patents . What are the advantages of a recombinant monoclonal antibody? This product is a recombinant monoclonal antibody, which offers several advantages including: - High batch-to-batch consistency and reproducibility - Improved sensitivity and specificity - Long-term security of supply - Animal-free batch production For more information, read more on recombinant antibodies . Conjugation ready Our carrier-free antibodies are typically supplied in a PBS-only formulation, purified and free of BSA, sodium azide and glycerol. This conjugation-ready format is designed for use with fluorochromes, metal isotopes, oligonucleotides, and enzymes, which makes them ideal for antibody labelling, functional and cell-based assays, flow-based assays (e.g. mass cytometry) and Multiplex Imaging applications. Use our conjugation kits for antibody conjugates that are ready-to-use in as little as 20 minutes with 1 minute hands-on-time and 100% antibody recovery: available for fluorescent dyes, HRP, biotin and gold. Compatibility This product is compatible with the Maxpar ® Antibody Labeling Kit from Fluidigm, without the need for antibody preparation. Maxpar ® is a trademark of Fluidigm Canada Inc.

Scientific Background

Target data Beta-galactoside-binding lectin that acts as a sensor of membrane damage caused by infection and restricts the proliferation of infecting pathogens by targeting them for autophagy (PubMed : 22246324, PubMed : 28077878). Detects membrane rupture by binding beta-galactoside ligands located on the lumenal side of the endosome membrane; these ligands becoming exposed to the cytoplasm following rupture (PubMed : 22246324, PubMed : 28077878). Restricts infection by initiating autophagy via interaction with CALCOCO2/NDP52 (PubMed : 22246324, PubMed : 28077878). Required to restrict infection of bacterial invasion such as S.typhimurium (PubMed : 22246324). Also required to restrict infection of Picornaviridae viruses (PubMed : 28077878). Has a marked preference for 3'-O-sialylated and 3'-O-sulfated glycans (PubMed : 21288902). See full target information LGALS8
