Each lot of this antibody is quality control tested by immunofluorescent staining with flow cytometric analysis. For flow cytometric staining, the suggested use of this reagent is ≤0.25 ?g per million cells in 100 ?l volume. For Western blotting, the suggested use of this reagent is 0.5 - 2.0 ?g per ml. For immunohistochemical staining on frozen tissue sections, the suggested use is 5-10 ?g/mL. It is recommended that the reagent be titrated for optimal performance for each application.
Clone 108A2 recognizes the linker peptide of mouse Galectin-9; it does not cross-react with stable Galectin-9 (which is biologically active, genetically engineered, linker-less Galectin-9)3. Additional reported applications (for the relevant formats) include: sandwich ELISA as capture antibody1 and immunohistochemical staining of paraffin2 embedded tissue sections.
