Description

Product Specs

Introduction
6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase (6PGD) is the second dehydrogenase enzyme in the pentose phosphate pathway, a metabolic pathway crucial for nucleic acid biosynthesis due to its role in producing pentose. This pathway also serves as a primary source of NADPH. Deficiency in 6PGD is generally asymptomatic and is inherited in an autosomal dominant manner. Notably, PGD deficiency can elevate erythrocyte pyruvate kinase activity while reducing glutathione synthetase activity, potentially leading to hemolysis.
Physical Appearance
The product is a sterile-filtered solution that is colorless.
Formulation
The antibody is provided at a concentration of 1 mg/ml and is formulated in a solution containing PBS at pH 7.4, 10% glycerol, and 0.02% sodium azide.
Storage Procedures
For short-term storage (up to 1 month), the antibody can be stored at 4°C. For extended storage, it is recommended to store the antibody at -20°C. Repeated freeze-thaw cycles should be avoided to maintain product stability.
Stability / Shelf Life
The antibody has a shelf life of 12 months when stored at -20°C and 1 month when stored at 4°C.
Applications
The PGD antibody has undergone rigorous testing in various applications, including ELISA, Western blot analysis, flow cytometry, and immunocytochemistry/immunofluorescence (ICC/IF), to ensure its specificity and reactivity. However, it is crucial to optimize the antibody concentration for each specific application to achieve optimal results.
Synonyms
EC 1.1.1.44, 6PGD, PGDH, 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase decarboxylating, PGD.
Purification Method
PGD antibody was purified from mouse ascitic fluids by protein-A affinity chromatography.
Type
Mouse Anti Human Monoclonal.
Clone
PAT46B3AT.
Immunogen
Anti-human PGD mAb, is derived from hybridization of mouse F0 myeloma cells with spleen cells from BALB/c mice immunized with recombinant human PGD amino acids 1-483 purified from E. coli.
Ig Subclass
Mouse IgG1 heavy chain and k light chain.

Product Science Overview

Mouse Anti-Human Antibodies

Mouse anti-human antibodies are secondary antibodies produced by immunizing mice with human immunoglobulins. These antibodies are used in various immunological assays to detect, sort, or purify human proteins. They are affinity-purified to ensure high specificity and are often conjugated with labels such as HRP, AP, or fluorescence for detection purposes .

Applications

Mouse anti-human antibodies are widely used in:

  • ELISA (Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay): For detecting and quantifying specific proteins.
  • Western Blotting: For identifying proteins in a sample.
  • Flow Cytometry: For sorting and analyzing cells.
  • Immunohistochemistry: For visualizing proteins in tissue sections .

HAMA Response

One potential issue with using mouse anti-human antibodies is the development of the Human Anti-Mouse Antibody (HAMA) response. This is an allergic reaction that can range from mild (e.g., rash) to severe (e.g., kidney failure) . Researchers often use various strategies to minimize this response, such as using humanized antibodies or pre-adsorbing the antibodies to remove cross-reactive components.
