Anti-MBL2 antibody produced in rabbit

产品说明

一般描述

MBL2 (mannose binding lectin 2) is a mannose-binding protein, expressed in neurons, astrocytes, microglia and belongs to the collectins family. It has also been found in oligodendrocytes of the frontal cortex of the HIV (human immunodeficiency virus)-1 infected brain.

免疫原

Mannose-binding protein C precursor recombinant protein epitope signature tag (PrEST)

应用

Anti-MBL2 antibody produced in rabbit, a Prestige Antibody, is developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project (www.proteinatlas.org). Each antibody is tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues. These images can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link. The antibodies are also tested using immunofluorescence and western blotting. To view these protocols and other useful information about Prestige Antibodies and the HPA, visit sigma.com/prestige.

生化/生理作用

MBL2 (mannose binding lectin 2) is associated with the activation of complement pathway, pathogen opsonization, chemotaxis, and activation of leukocytes and phagocytosis. Deficiency of MBL leads to to HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) transmission and disease progression. In bloodstream, it binds to the mannose residues or carbohydrates on pathogens such as bacteria, yeast, viruses, or parasites which helps to activate lectin complement pathway. With the help of two serine proteases, MBL-associated serine proteases (MASP-1 and MASP-2), MBL activates the complement factors C4 and C2 through a novel pathway.

特点和优势

Prestige Antibodies^® are highly characterized and extensively validated antibodies with the added benefit of all available characterization data for each target being accessible via the Human Protein Atlas portal linked just below the product name at the top of this page. The uniqueness and low cross-reactivity of the Prestige Antibodies^® to other proteins are due to a thorough selection of antigen regions, affinity purification, and stringent selection. Prestige antigen controls are available for every corresponding Prestige Antibody and can be found in the linkage section.

Every Prestige Antibody is tested in the following ways:

• IHC tissue array of 44 normal human tissues and 20 of the most common cancer type tissues.
• Protein array of 364 human recombinant protein fragments.
