Product Specifications

Immunogen

Female DBA/2 mice were injected intraperitonially with a mixture of 50 ug L-dsRNA and 75 ug methylated bovine serum albumin, emulsified in complete Freund's adjuvant. After several boosts spleen cells were fused with Sp2/0-Agl4 myeloma cells to generate the hybridoma clone.

Specificity

This antibody recognises double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) provided that the length of the helix is greater than or equal to 40 bp. dsRNA-recognition is independent of the sequence and nucleotide composition of the antigen. All naturally occurring dsRNAs investigated up to now (40-50 species) as well as poly(I).poly(C) and poly(A).poly(U) have been recognised by this antibody, although in some assays its affinity to poly(I).poly(C) is about 10 times lower than that to other dsRNA antigens.

Applications for dsRNA Antibody (J2) - Azide and BSA Free

Application
Recommended Usage

Dot Blot

Optimal dilutions of this antibody should be experimentally determined.

ELISA

Optimal dilutions of this antibody should be experimentally determined.

Flow Cytometry

Optimal dilutions of this antibody should be experimentally determined.

Immunoaffinity Purification

Optimal dilutions of this antibody should be experimentally determined.

Immunocytochemistry/ Immunofluorescence

Optimal dilutions of this antibody should be experimentally determined.

Immunohistochemistry

Optimal dilutions of this antibody should be experimentally determined.

Application Notes
This antibody can be used for ELISA, dsRNA-immunoblotting, immunoaffinity chromatography and in certain systems also for immunohistochemistry. The optimum working dilution of the antibody for any specific application should be established by titration.

Please note that nucleic acid separation prior to dsRNA-immunoblotting must be carried out by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, because the sensitivity of detection is considerably lower after blotting from agarose gels.

Not for use for clinical purposes. For in vitro use only.

Immuno-affinity-chromatography.

Shipping

The product is shipped with polar packs. Upon receipt, store it immediately at the temperature recommended below.

Stability & Storage

Store lyophilized antibody at -20C prior to opening. Aliquot reconstituted liquid and and freeze at -20C or below for extended storage. Avoid cycles of freezing and thawing.

Background: dsRNA

Double-stranded RNA (dsRNA)antibodies have been used extensively to detect and characterise plant and animal viruses with dsRNA genomes or intermediates. J2 can be used to detect dsRNA intermediates of viruses as diverse as Hepatitis C virus, Dengue virus, rhinovirus, Chikungunya virus, Rabies virus, Polio virus, Classic swine fever virus, Brome mosaic virus and many more in cultured cells and also in fixed paraffin-embedded histological samples.

Product Specific Notices for dsRNA Antibody (J2) - Azide and BSA Free

After reconstitution antibodies should be aliquoted and stored at -20C or -70C. After adding 10 mM sodium azide undiluted antibody can also be stored at 4C for a short period of time. For long term storage the mAb should be kept frozen. Repeated freezing/thawing cycles should be avoided. When kept lyophilized the product will remain stable for at least 5 years at -20C or -70C. This ds-RNA antibody was manufactured by Scicon.

This product is for research use only and is not approved for use in humans or in clinical diagnosis. Primary Antibodies are guaranteed for 1 year from date of receipt.
