Overview

Regulatory Status: RUO
Storage:
The lyophilized antiserum is shipped at ambient temperature and may be stored at +4°C; prolonged storage at or below -20°C.

Further Information

Applications Description:
Precipitation assays. Dilutions may be prepared by adding phosphate buffered saline (PBS, pH 7.2). Repeated thawing and freezing should be avoided. If a slight precipitation occurs upon storage, this should be removed by centrifugation. It will not affect the performance of the antiserum. Diluted antiserum should be stored at +4°C, not refrozen, and preferably used the same day.
Background:
The reactivity of the antiserum is restricted to mouse fibrinogen molecule. In immunoelectrophoresis and radial immunodiffusion, using various antiserum concentrations against normal mouse plasma a single precipitin line is obtained which shows a reaction of identity with the precipitin line obtained with purified fibrinogen. No reaction is obtained with any other plasma protein components or serum. However, the antiserum may also react with fibrin monomers, circulating fibrinopeptides and fibrin degradation products. In precipitating techniques as immunoelectrophoresis and single or double radial immunodiffusion (Mancini, Ouchterlony) to identify the presence of fibrinogen in mouse plasma or other body fluids or to determine its concentration.

This product is intended FOR RESEARCH USE ONLY, and FOR TESTS IN VITRO, not for use in diagnostic or therapeutic procedures involving humans or animals. This datasheet is as accurate as reasonably achievable, but Nordic-MUbio accepts no liability for any inaccuracies or omissions in this information.
Formulation:
Delipidated, heat inactivated, lyophilized, stable whole antiserum No preservative added as it may interfere with the antibody activity. Total protein and IgG concentrations in the antiserum are comparable to those of pooled normal goat serum. No foreign
Product:
Delipidated, heat inactivated, lyophilized, stable whole antiserum No preservative added as it may interfere with the antibody activity. Total protein and IgG concentrations in the antiserum are comparable to those of pooled normal goat serum. No foreign proteins added. Reconstitute the lyophilized antiserum by adding 1 ml sterile distilled water.
Source:
Fibrinogen (clotting factor I) is a heat labile beta glycoprotein present in plasma. It is the precursor of fibrin, which is the key protein constituting the network of the blood clot. Thrombin converts fibrinogen to fibrin by limited proteolysis. Fibrin monomers polymerize to fibrin which is stabilized by cross-linking. Fibrinogen is isolated from fresh plasma after removing prothrombin. Freund?s complete adjuvant is used in the first step of the immunization procedure.
Specificity:
Precipitating polyclonal Goat antiSerum to Mouse fibrinogen
